Still, despite combat-ready armies poised on both sides of the DMZ, it seemed unlikely that a larger conflagration would result from last week's incident. In Seoul, reported TIME'S Tokyo Bureau Chief William Stewart, "there was little evidence of tension. The streets are clogged with traffic jams, the restaurants are full and on the sidewalks the crowds savor a late August breeze. The latest incident is shrugged off as worrisome but manageable." And in the DMZ last weekend, the North Koreans offered no resistance when American soldiers went out and chopped down that poplar tree near...
Another British couple, Brother and Sister Runners Ian (5,000 meters) and Mary (1,500 meters) Stewart of Birmingham, has worked as hard as Anne and Mark.

All the Justices pointed out that there were other ways of protecting a defendant's Sixth Amendment rights-including moving or delaying the trial...
...practitioners of rewarding political loyalists with public jobs. About 1,000 Republicans working in the Cook County sheriffs office had been routinely turned out after a Democrat was elected in 1970. The court conceded that such firings may be necessary for policymaking officials, but in the words of Justice Stewart the First Amendment right of free speech is violated if "a nonpolicymaking, nonconfidential government employee can be discharged from a job that he is satisfactorily performing upon the sole ground of his political beliefs...
