...What Do You Want?" The upshot of the Mississippi march may well be to harden positions on both sides of the black-power quarrel. The militants can be expected to cite the savagery of white Mississippians as proof that Negroes can hardly expect much in the way of help from whites. The moderates can be expected to counter, as Ralph Abernathy, one of King's aides, did recently, with the argument that "if the philosophy of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is carried to its ultimate conclusion, we are eventually going to have...
Burden of Proof. There would still be multitudinous exceptions, notably bona fide security secrets, Government-employee records, geophysical data that could be used for commercial advantage, and FBI investigative manuals, which would be of compelling interest to the underworld. Moreover, the new law would support the tradition of "executive privilege," by which the President has the final right to withhold any information.

...Asia, where the West's unique concept of liberty under law is nearly incomprehensible.

"Republicans can indeed win in the cities," Javits argues, "if they are forceful, energetic and imaginative enough to offer programs to tackle and solve the problems of the cities." John Lindsay proved as much...
...process, a true nation 'is emerging out of what once was four major tribal confederations and two or three urban centers. As its leader, Feisal himself was his own best proof of the change last week. In his flowing white robes and gold headband, he flew off to Spain for five days of trade and foreign-investment talks with Francisco Franco. From Madrid he goes on to Washington this week, where he will meet with President Johnson to discuss economic development and other problems of the Middle East. In the old days of Saudi extravagance, there would have been...
