...whole, however, political liberalization has been slow and erratic. Most of the old restrictive laws are still on the books, and although they are sel dom enforced, the regime can dust them off at its pleasure, and does. Three years ago, Spanish Communist Julián Grimau was executed under the 1941 Law for the Suppression of Masonry and Communism, which supposedly had been repealed...
Needling Washington. Unlike most state courts, Traynor's is quite willing to reinterpret the federal Constitution when the U.S. Supreme Court appears slow to do so. Speaking for his court in 1948, for example, Traynor boldly ignored an 1883 Supreme Court ruling and tossed out California's antimiscegenation law on the ground that it violated the 14th-Amendment right to equal protection of the laws.

The 134 miles of subway tubes, normally jammed daily with 4.6 million passengers, stretched...
That was evident in Shelepin's trip itself. Kremlin watchers think the trip was delayed by Peking, which was slow to come through with permission to fly over China. True or not, there was no doubt of Shelepin's chilly reception when his jet touched down at Peking airport en route to Hanoi for a "technical stopover." An unsmiling Finance Minister Li Hsien-nien was on hand to greet the Russian, dapper in a well-cut coat with Persian lamb collar and matching cap. The Chinese had prepared lunch, but the Russians had fore-handedly eaten...
