...November, 327 statewide propositions will appear on the ballot in 46 states, plus countless others on local ballots, many of them placed there by citizens' petition campaigns. Thanks to petitions, New York City voters will decide on the city's new civilian-dominated police review board, Nebraskans will vote on the state's recently enacted income tax laws, and Columbus residents will determine whether they want to keep their old Central Market - even though it has already been razed. In California, where petitioners succeeded in getting a dubious anti-obscenity measure on the ballot (TIME, Sept...
...dullest term in 14 years. At first glance, the new docket promises few blockbuster decisions, such as those that banned public-school prayers in 1963 and curbed confessions last June. Yet the Warren court is hardly preparing to go out of business. Last week it faced requests to review lower-court decisions involving everything from labels on Swiss cheese to the right of students to sport beards and spurn haircuts. This week as it goes back to work, the court begins hearing oral arguments in three cases that will plunge it right back into a familiar miasma-obscenity...

Volpe announced that the state would thoroughly review its previous recommendation of the Brookline-Elm St. route. But M.I.T.'s position is now considered a key factor in whether the state will reverse its position and recommend Portland-Albany...
From there we go on to all the traditional song-styles of the amateur review -- the sinister tango, the unintelligible patter song, the rock'n'roll parody. The melodies were just not striking enough to break out from their cliches and be heard. Tight, overly simple little tunes, accompanied by only a piano, drums, and a brief, aborted oboe (last year's show had the advantage of a charming flute and steady bass behind the songs), they were too thin to matter much. One song, "What Sort of Man," written by Sharon Stokes, started to move towards a little more...
