...world, tribute bestowed is usually carefully blocked out for television cameras or handed to the press in mimeographed texts. It was, therefore, a breath of refreshing antiquity when Lord Caradon, Britain's chief U.N. delegate, last week took the floor of the Security Council to celebrate something in proper heraldic verse. His rhyme pays tribute to Russia's efforts in winning U.N. endorsement of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, and his hero, slightly less than epic, is the head of Russia's negotiating team, First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov...
...test-firing to determine its ballistic pattern. In the age of the computer, such distinctive patterns could be kept on file without too much difficulty. With gun owners carrying a license and a registration card for every weapon, ammunition could also be registered and sold only to those with proper credentials. Such all-embracing registration would aid police in both detection and prevention of crimes. Finally, proponents of gun-law reform argue that, just as prospective drivers must undergo examinations, the applicant for a license to possess a gun should be required to pass a thorough written exam...

Students worldwide, he said, "have been at the very heart of the greatest and most promising revolution in human history. And when revolutions come, they inevitably tear into the valuable, the precious...
Justice Stewart did say that it is still proper to exclude a person who could not vote for the death penalty under any circumstances. But a man can no longer be eliminated merely because he disapproves of capital punishment. A jury that does not have such members is unfairly weighted toward imposing death, said the court. Therefore, every man who has been condemned by such a jury must now be resentenced-although the court made it clear that it was not reversing convictions...
