...does the Supreme Court go on reversing state criminal decisions? Is it really soft on criminals? Is it unlawfully amending the Constitution? Harvard's Law School Dean Erwin N. Griswold told the Cleveland Bar Association last week that if anything, the court has been remarkably restrained in exercising its "clear responsibility" to make states follow the national standard set by the 14th Amendment under which "no state . . . shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process...
Hugging the hillside like an Arab village is the museum's main silhouette: the 28 interconnected, boxy pavilions that house the Bezalel National Art Museum and the Samuel Bronfman Archaeological and Biblical Museum. Designed by Israeli Architects Alfred Mansfeld and Dora Gad, the pavilions are soft to the feet, with taupe carpeting over cork, and harsh on the eyes, with unshaded clerestories admitting a blaze of light.

...Fort Edward, N.Y., plant of Cohn-Hall-Marx Co. three years ago and nobody much in the U.S. cared. When a Cohn-Hall-Marx representative showed it around Paris though, big-name houses like Courreges, Dior, and V de V saw big new possibilities in this soft, slick stuff that draped so gracefully and was so easily printed with clear color and bold design. Now some of the big Paris houses are backing away a bit from what bids fair to be an all-out fad, but U.S. manufacturers are bringing it out in all kinds of new colors...
