...V.V.A.W. leader, walked off in a huff. "If trashing is the thing, if assaulting delegates is the thing, then we will have no part of it." The Miami Beach, county and state police forces who cracked scarcely a skull all the long week in a masterly display of restraint and cool, finally drove the protesters from the convention-center area with barrage after barrage of CS gas, whereupon the protesters marched peaceably back toward the beachfront hotels that were serving as Republican headquarters. By the end of the evening, the 4,000 had shrunk to 400 weary protesters sitting outside...
...grand jury; it maintains that newsmen have recourse through the courts to challenge a jury's interrogation if they feel it is peripheral to the case under investigation. Further, the Court says that by requiring newsmen to divulge sources, given this legal recourse, it is imposing no prior restraint not any other shackle forbidden by the Constitution.

In words intoned slowly to allow simultaneous translation into Japanese, Court President Abraham Frish said: "There is no punishment befitting the seriousness of the crime you have committed. This crime imprints the mark of Cain upon you and your employers and you shall never be cleansed...
...play, Butterflies Are Free continues to enjoy a healthy run on Broadway. Its director, Milton Katselas, has mounted the movie version with commendable restraint. Goldie Hawn, as the girl next door, has come a long way from her giddy role in Laugh-In; she is often genuinely touching. Edward Albert, the son of Actor Eddie Albert, is creditable as the blind boy, and Eileen Heckart is appropriately hateful as the mother, although she is unable to be convincing in her transformation. But then nobody could...
