...entry would probably be followed by the entry of some EFTA nations and would thus both destroy the exclusivity of the Six and almost certainly lead to what De Gaulle called "numerous revisions" in the charter. De Gaulle fears that British entry might, in fact, be the first irretrievable step toward allowing the whole world in on the Common Market's free-trade advantages, thereby expanding the market into a sort of super Kennedy Round in which all trade barriers everywhere would be thrown away...
...lone dissenter,* Justice Stewart, surprisingly made no mention of the possibility that countless minors now in custody may well be entitled to quick release. He did argue, however, that the court was inviting "a long step backward into the 19th century," an era when "there were no juvenile proceedings, and a child was tried in a conventional criminal court."

...last week at Carnegie Hall, the Leventritt jury outdid itself. It ranked the four violin finalists so closely that it took the unprecedented step of asking each to play again.

...reader usually finds an untucked hair shirt of violence and degradation. The gay life never leads down a simple primrose path; most relationships of this sort are entangled in the bramble of sadomasochism, and inevitably, the virgin is despoiled, the innocent becomes jaded, and another sensitive, out-of-step, sad young man is ultimately and tragically tripped up. There are no happy endings in the homosexual story...
