...season's troubles started when Frank Collin, self-styled Fuhrer of a tiny Chicago-based Nazi splinter group called the National Socialist Party of America, announced plans for a May 1 parade through Skokie, a heavily Jewish suburb north of Chicago. Some 7,000 survivors of World War II Nazi concentration camps live in the village. Skokie authorities swiftly banned the demonstration, and militant Jewish Defense League spokesmen promised to keep the Nazi marchers out with force...
...breakaway splinter group called the Martin Luther King Jr. Movement Coalition obtained a parade permit for the area three weeks ago, forcing police to call up a 750-man protective patrol. When blacks showed up to march, however, police claimed a coalition leader had called and canceled the event the night before, prompting them to cancel the reinforcement call. Some blacks attempted to march anyway, but two leaders were quickly arrested and the march halted. Even so, angry white mobs went on a rampage. Perhaps hoping that tempers might cool with a change in the weather, the city then stated...
Prime Minister Ian Smith proceeded last week with his grand plan for solving the Rhodesian crisis-on his own terms. First, he aims to win the country's Aug. 31 elections in order to head off a threat to his government from a new, right-wing splinter group (TIME, Aug. 1). Then, with his mandate reinforced, he hopes to create a moderate, multiracial government in Rhodesia that would include both whites and some conservative black nationalists-but not leaders of the radical Patriotic Front with its guerrilla army...
Both sides faced risks. By helping the Andreotti regime stay in power, the Communists risked antagonizing their own left wing, not to mention the extreme left splinter groups (including many students). The Christian Democrats, who had always vowed not to form a partnership with the Communists, could alienate some support if they seemed now to be reneging on that promise. But Andreotti said he thought the agreement "refutes the theory that Italy is ungovernable." Communist Leader Enrico Berlinguer called it "a forward step" that gave the country a badly needed "breath of relief...
...especially dogs, the same high-quality, cooked table meats with which they gorge themselves. That not only adds beastly pounds, but hurts the animal in other ways. A German shepherd, for instance, can exert so much pressure with his jaws (700 Ibs. per sq. in.) that he can easily splinter a cooked bone into tiny shrapnel-like pieces, some of which may perforate his intestines. It is far better, says A.A.H.A. President Warren Walker, to give dogs uncooked shank or knuckle bones, which are harder and less likely to fragment...
