...Moss, attorney for the Treadway Motor Inn, also on Mt. Auburn St., opposed granting the zoning changes, terming them "illegal." He said after the hearing "Calling the Holiday Inn property transitional is a sham."

But here some resolution of the conflict between innocence and experience finally appears: Hesse declares innocent youth a sham.

Journalists who marched in peace marches would not be allowed to withhold information in cases arising out of those marches. And it is even questionable whether most full-time journalists would put up with this sort of restriction on their private lives...
