Lyndon Johnson last week addressed two appeals to the Kremlin for progress on arms controls, a subject he clearly holds vital to the peace effort of his last months as president...
...Sorbonne's amphitheaters became forums for discussion groups in session 24 hours a day. Nearly every conceivable subject was discussed. People from every stratum of French society came from all parts of Paris to join in. The discussions were guided only by the principle painted everywhere on the Sorbonne's walls: "It is prohibited to prohibit!" The courtyard became a bazaar representing the whole spectrum of the world's left.

A law requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets, continued the court, "has a relationship to the protection of the individual motorcyclist from himself, but not to the public health, safety and welfare." So Michigan's motorcyclists no longer must use helmets. But the Rhode...
