...decision to send in more troops did not reflect any change of policy in Washington. On the contrary. Secretary of State Dean Rusk reiterated last week that the U.S. is simply "getting on with our commitment here-keeping open the possibilities of peace if the other side decides to pursue that tack." In fact, though, it is increasingly evident that Hanoi is as deeply committed to victory as the U.S. Five crack divisions of North Viet Nam's regular army have already been thrown into the struggle, more troops infiltrate every week. Thus the widening war in Viet...
Many of the Supreme Court's recent criminal-law decisions have a common element: in one way or another, they reflect the law's discrimination against the poor. They have challenged the adequacy of the bar's long tradition of giving free help through legal-aid societies. Case after case has been a reminder that by waiting for clients to come to them-often in offices far from the slums-legal-aid services have apparently failed to reach vast numbers of people who need them, in civil as well as criminal matters...

Hall looks like it was just given permanent wave. Total cost: $470,000. Acoustically, critics happier. Musicians too. Sound is livelier. Bass and high strengthened, echoes reduced. But visually, verdict is negative. Hall looks completely different. Blue walls now recreation-room russet. Curling wall panels clash...
...bungler here and there. We have activists who risk their lives to confront a people with the challenge of freedom and a nation with its conscience. We have neutralists who cautiously seek to calm troubled waters. We have the men about the work of reconciliation who are willing to reflect upon the cost...
