When the hearing (much of it in camera) began on Friday, a new development complicated the case. The Washington Post started to publish its own version of the Pentagon report. It did not print the classified memos verbatim as the Times had done, but it quoted liberally from them. The story also went out to the 345 client newspapers that subscribe to the combined Los Angeles Times-Washington Post news service. In addition, both the A.P. and U.P.I, picked up the story for the benefit of hundreds of other papers...
Denied the right to publish his powerful new work in the Soviet Union, Russian Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn allowed it to be issued in Paris two weeks ago (TIME, June 21). Already August 1914 has been acclaimed by its early readers for its epic sweep, for the religious themes that echo through it and for its superb battle scenes; some, in fact, have called it Solzhenitsyn's War and Peace...

Newspapers refuse to advertise it and most bookstores won't stock it-possibly because storekeepers fear people might take too literally the title of Hoffman's latest opus, Steal This Book. Frustrated at every turn, the Yippie leader last week set up shop on the sidewalk outside one of Manhattan's bookshops and began hawking the book, which offers practical instruction in gypping telephone companies, mixing Molotov cocktails and sowing pot seed. Sure enough, more people stole than bought. After disposing of 50 copies...
