Forceful Representation. Sobol's lawyers argued that if Negroes asserting their constitutional rights have trouble finding local attorneys, they must be permitted to retain out-of-state lawyers. And in federal court, Sobol's first witness gave stark testimony about how difficult it is for a local attorney to represent a Negro. New Orleans Lawyer Lolis Elie, himself a Negro, told how his law office was bombed two years ago. Then he recalled the greeting he received in one courtroom. Said Judge (now U.S. Representative) John Rarick upon Erie's arrival: "I didn't know they...
...What would happen if U.S. and North Vietnamese units clashed in an area where local accommodations had been reached? How could village or district elections in contested areas be supervised? When would the U.S. know that it was safe or opportune to begin withdrawing troops, and how many to retain in South Viet Nam?

Minimonarchy. The constitution sets up a tightly controlled minimonarchy in which the real power rests with the Premier, a post that Papadopoulos hopes to retain through popular elections. Under the new document, which will be presented to the people in a referendum on Sept. 29, the government at some unspecified time will recall King Constantine from his Roman exile. But the constitution strips him of his two most important prerogatives-the power to hire and fire Premiers and to command the armed forces. In the future, Greece's King will be obliged to name as Premier whoever is chief...
