Further, it will be up to the district judge to determine whether witnesses' lawyers will have the right to question their own clients and other witnesses. But Kennedy did win a partial victory. The inquest will be private, with the record impounded until the case is finally closed. "These general rules," said the Supreme Judicial Court, "tend to avoid embarrassment by premature publicity."* The court also noted that "Petitioner Kennedy's own resort to television may have increased public...

...used mainly for "repressing domestic insurgency in countries subject to our influence or control." Another problem, not answered by the panel: Would there be time to develop a prototype weapons system during the "grave national emergency" that the panel majority agreed would justify such work? An even more fundamental question is whether the labs can raise enough money for domestic and social-research projects to shift significantly away from military work. Administrators agree that the money will have to come from Washington. With the Nixon Administration in a budget-cutting mood, there are grounds for doubt that it will...
