...argue that, as President Nixon told the U.N. last month, "sky piracy cannot be ended as long as the pirates receive asylum." While most nations have stiff antihijacking statutes for their own citizens (U.S. law provides a maximum penalty of death), there is no international law on the subject. Nor is there yet much sentiment outside the U.S. for modifying the right of political asylum to dissuade hijackers...
...anonymity and comparative permissiveness of big cities. It is this concentration of homosexuals in urban neighborhoods rather than any real growth in their relative numbers that has increased their visibility and made possible their assertiveness. According to the Kinsey reports, still the basic source for statistics on the subject, 10% of American men have long periods of more or less exclusive homosexuality; only 4% (2% of women) are exclusively homosexual all their lives.

...crucial issues in the public discussion about homosexuality is whether or not the condition is a mental illness.

As everything from ambassador to special consultant and Assistant Secretary of State, he watched how power was actually used in a variety of crises from the 1933 bank holiday to the Cuban missile showdown. Despite the old American distrust of all power, he believes that our current social...
...protection of the laws" doctrine, can be logically extended from schools and voting to such new areas as the granting of private credit and pension rights and even to a system of guaranteed income by judicial decree. Judicial power, Berle feels, has not been adequately "institutionalized." It is now subject to no appeal "other than agitation or, at worst, mobs in the streets." One of Berle's proposals for institutionalizing the court's self-appointed mandate is a council of advisers and a congressional committee to suggest laws ensuring constitutional rights. The object is to confront and deal...
