Massachusetts now is in the process of considering such shield legislation. Nineteen states already have shield laws, and 12 of these have provided absolute protection from any kind of forced disclosure. In the Massachusetts state legislature, five bills have been filed, each ranging in the scope of protection that it provides. Less than two weeks ago, on February 14, the state legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary held its only day of hearings on the five bills. The legislators showed that they, like most politicians, are not particularly in love with the press. In fact, the committee members...
Simply put, the Economics Department's senior faculty does not regard radical economics as a substantial field. Although senior faculty members admit that the radicals ask important questions about the capitalist system, they argue that these questions are unanswerable and outside the scope of conventional economics. Some, but not all, of the Department's senior faculty members feel that economists must focus exclusively on questions of economic performance and leave questions about the socio-political context in which economic activity takes place entirely to sociologists and political scientists...

A strike of any duration could be cruelly damaging...
...Bruce Thomas, 24, took off for Canada in 1969, after his draft board changed his classification to 1-A. He got a job as a recreation director in Slave Lake, Alta., and soon took over as editor of the weekly paper, the Lesser Slave Lake Scope. The paper keeps Thomas, his Alberta-born wife and one employee busy. A self-confessed "disturber of the social scene," he goes after conflicts of interest in the local council and finds frequent opportunity to warn his readers against the "rat race of U.S. life." Amnesty, he says, does not matter to him. "Some...
