...bunkum!" snorted Home Secretary Reginald Maudling when a television interviewer asked him if he thought Britain was abandoning some of its cherished liberal traditions. There were, however, many Britons who were prepared to challenge Maudling on that point last week as a result of his handling of the "Red" Rudi Dutschke case. Shortly after Dutschke was shot in the head by a right-wing assassin in West Berlin nearly three years ago, the fiery radical student leader was granted permission to recuperate in Britain. James Callaghan, then Home Secretary in Harold Wilson's Labor government, imposed one condition-that...
Star Chamber. Many Britons who thoroughly disagree with Rudi's Maoist politics accept his argument that merely discussing politics does not constitute political activity. There was also the suspicion that Britain's secret service tapped his telephone, a practice that evokes special revulsion in Britain. Protest marches were staged at Cambridge and other universities, and the Financial Times warned that "only vigilance can prevent creeping incursions of Star Chamber techniques...
Swiss Businessman Rudi Bucher was celebrating his 54th birthday at his home near Lake Como when a congratulatory letter arrived from his brother, Switzerland's Ambassador to Brazil. Life in Rio, wrote Giovanni Enrico Bucher, 57, a suave, popular bachelor, was "pleasant and uneventful." One day, he predicted, Brazil would be one of the "stablest nations of Latin America."

He is a man of slender elegance with a graceful manner and clear, purposeful blue eyes. His wife Marit, a trim, Nordic-blonde who could have stepped out of a Bergman movie, is fond of pointing out that Goran has a master...
...things can arouse the British as quickly as the opportunity to espouse an underdog's cause. Last week, as the crowded letters columns of the London dailies indicated, many Britons had found just such an opportunity. The object of their concern was Rudi Dutschke, 30, once the wildest of West Germany's radical student leaders. Two years ago, after a right-wing assassin in West Berlin shot him twice in the head, Dutschke came to Britain to recover. He was admitted by the Labor government on the specific condition that he would refrain from any political activity...
