...Second Chance. What would be included? Virtually everything, from a man's school records to his employment history, from his traffic violations to his religious affiliations, from his military service to his credit rating. Those who resent this computer snoopery decry it as "a great, expensive, electronic garbage pail" that defiles every American's right to keep his private life private. Representative Gallagher goes so far as to predict that private homes will have to take the same precautions that embassies are forced to take now: "The essential ingredients of life will be carried on in soundproof, peep...

Not long ago, Tito called a plenum and delivered a blistering rebuke to those "who have worked in a way contrary to the implementation of reform." The old-liners are under pressure from a different direction: Tito is encouraging the 8,000,000-member Socialist Alliance, once a rubber-stamp popular front, to stand in local elections against his ruling League of Yugoslav Communists Party.
