Then up stepped Brooklyn's outspoken Judge Samuel Simon Leibowitz, 66, Rumanian-born, up from the slums, and never-as a celebrated criminal lawyer or judge-averse to provoking a headline. New York, he said, needed 1) a state law to slow down the inflow of penniless migrants by requiring a one-year residence -normal in most states-before a newcomer becomes eligible for relief payments, and 2) a civic campaign to discourage migration to the city from "all parts of the country and the Caribbean." Puerto Rican children, he said, flashing a sheaf of papers, account...
...wisest course might be a slow step-by-step disengagement, with the measures growing as mutual trust grew; no one step could set either power at a catastrophic disadvantage. Inspection of a meaningful kind would of course be necessary, especially at the beginning. A good first step could be an atom-free, demilitarized zone in middle Germany, which could be expanded if it were found workable...
...latest and perhaps the most successful device engineered by Southerners to slow down the process of integration, the "pupil placement" law, received approval from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals last week.

Since 1951, old-fashioned general merchandise stores have declined 9%. But with more and more people on the go, restaurants are up 4%, automotive...
...which virtually nothing is known beyond the legends handed down by Livy and Plutarch, Duggan sketches a fascinating if somewhat too breezily modern story. The Rome of 8th century B.C., as described by Duggan, sounds very much like a common European caricature of the 20th century U.S. Rome is slow to war. and quick to extend aid to an enemy once he has been beaten. Its conglomerate citizens-Latin farmers, Sabine hillmen, Etruscan renegades, Greek exiles-are swiftly shaped into a conforming whole; they dress and act alike and are fond of boasting of their superiority over their decadent...
