...final forum of legal questions in the country, the Supreme Court's decisions should command public respect as being impartial and fair. If the Court were to rule on questions intimately involving President Johnson-such as the legality of the Viet Nam War-the impartiality of Justices Fortas and Thornberry might well be questioned. Herein lies the threat of cronyism to the Supreme Court; it can erode public confidence in its decisions, however fairly they were reached...
...despite the play's title, Androcles and the Lion are not the chief characters. In this respect, the work is like, say, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, Clymbeline, and Henry IV. Although not appearing until after the Prologue, Lavinia is Shaw's leading character and spokesman. In his Postscript, Shaw calls her "a clever and fearless freethinker." She is one of his huge gallery of extraordinary women--a group unsurpassed by any other twentieth-century dramatist. Lavinia falls into the category of those persons passionately driven by con-science and commitment--like his Saint Joan, his Major Barbara...
...NATION DISARMAMENT COMMITTEE, 1961. The semi-permanent sessions of diplomats from 17 nations at the Palais des Nations in Geneva have worked out virtually all the disarmament agreements.

Red China has declared the committee anathema. HOT LINE, 1963. A minor deterrent, the installation of a direct telecircuit between the White House and the Kremlin, was worked out by Kennedy and Khrushchev...
Zurich, Switzerland's largest city (pop. 440,000), is such a bastion of Zwinglian virtues and respect for law and order that unkind observers say it would resemble a graveyard, if only it were a little livelier. The thought of public violence in Zurich is utterly improbable. Yet last week there were student riots right in downtown Zurich- and they were just as violent as anything seen recently on the Boulevard Saint-Germain or on the Columbia University campus...
...Mayer's combined respect for and ability to manipulate the audience does not entirely result in our being able to sit back and laugh for 2 1/2 hours, and his vision of the all-too-real dream incorporates terror, coruption of the flesh, and the inadequacy of the bonds between the combinations of lovers. Here the Summer Players' production is less accessible, and without dwelling on interpretation best left to each of you, I would quietly and seriously suggest that Mayer has invested something of his heart and soul in the show. Also that the terror inherent in the confrontation...
