...Canadiens moved into a 3-0 lead in their NHL playoff series on goals by Ralph Backstrom, Bobby Rousseau, Terry Harper, John Ferguson, and Jean Beliveau...
...from careless driving. Psychologists agree that driving is a direct extension of the human personality, reflecting tendencies to care, compassion, aggression or even suicide. Lately, however, some polemicists have been trying to place all the blame on the machines, not on the man. Most conspicuous among these is Lawyer Ralph Nader, who gained attention at last week's congressional hearings because G.M. had set private eyes on him after he wrote a book, Unsafe at Any Speed.

But the key case was a five to four decision upholding the conviction of Ralph Ginzberg, founder and publisher of Eros magazine. The right of the Supreme Court, or any other court for that matter, to enforce censorship is uncertain at best, but the indication of last week's decisions, as Justice John Harlan himself pointed out, "is that no stable approach to the obscenity...
