...Whoever they are, the new men will probably be more conservative than either Fortas or Warren, who were in close agreement on most issues. Still, conservative critics who expect a turnabout in decisions are almost certain to be disappointed. For one thing, the major decisions of the Warren Court are largely irreversible, already part of the social fabric. For another, the court almost always changes at a pace that can only be called glacial. Innovations usually proceed decision by decision, year by year...
Because the Federal Government matches highway funds by 92% to 8%, the shortage at the state level could eventually cost Idaho $5,000,000, or ten miles of interstate highway. But there is still Lake Bowl. Though Turner's restaurant was closed upon seizure, the alley is yielding a 6 1/2? profit to a special state trust fund for every line bowled.

Baleful Eye. In winning a seat from West Bengal last week, Menon was supported by the Communist-controlled United Front, a coalition of leftist parties that governs the state. Menon still retains the baleful eye and personal arrogance that used to infuriate fellow diplomats at the United Nations. Neither then nor now has Menon had any large national following. But he will undoubtedly provide the left coalition with ideas, and his scathing voice will be employed in attacks on the government...
