Spate of Rulings. The center uses tactics developed by civil rights groups. "First we find out in what areas of the law the poor are being shortchanged," says Albert.

The organization has been responsible, in whole or in part, for the spate of recent Supreme Court rulings that have broadened the rights of welfare recipients. In 1966 the high court upheld a decision prohibiting Georgia from denying relief benefits to mothers whom the state deemed able to work.

Van de Kamp, 33, a former Justice Department lawyer whose family founded bakeries and restaurants throughout the state, proved to be almost as rightward-thinking...
...Russian-supplied tactical missiles, which have a range of 45 miles. But, as 1967 proved, the option to attack is not Nasser's alone. There would be no quicker way to draw wrath than any attempt to follow up on his declaration that "we reserve the right to strike at Israeli civilians...
