...resignation as Vice President and his decision not to contest the Government's charges of evading federal income taxes. Attorneys for the association pointed out last week that the charge that Agnew did not deny was a felony involving "moral turpitude." Agnew should be disbarred, argued Alfred L.

Zion says that the refusal is an inexcusable act of censorship by the printers. The magazine finally found a printer in Canada, which was understandably reluctant to encourage bombers. Montreal police seized some 100,000 copies on the technicality that the necessary permit had not been obtained. Last week, while Scanlan's lawyer Israel Schawartzberg was rounding up the necessary signatures, he died...
