...leisure hours, summer or winter, Australia's Prime Minister Harold Holt was never far from the sea. Twenty-three months ago, when he first took office, newspapers all over the world ran pictures of the hardy, silver-haired Prime Minister wearing a rubber wet suit and carrying a spear gun. Holt fished from the rocks, body-surfed in the great Pacific waves that pound southern Australia's Mornington Peninsula, and spent hours with his wife, Zara, exploring rock pools, collecting shells and spearing fish. His greatest delight was snorkeling. "From the moment I put my head under...
...bound to make Israelis wonder whether all four were really necessary. Last month, Allon led his Achdut Ha 'avodah into a formal merger with Mapai, hoping thereby to become the government candidate to succeed Eshkol, who tends to favor Allon's ambition. Last week the Rafi followed suit. Over the objections of Ben-Gurion-who still refuses to be associated with Eshkol "on personal and moral grounds"-a Rafi convention voted reluctantly to rejoin Mapai. The man behind the move was Dayan, whose one-eyed glamour and tooth-for-a-tooth toughness have made him the politician most...
...Supreme Court has now changed that. The case involved an Illinois local of the United Mine Workers, which had hired a lawyer to represent, without charge, members pressing workmen's compensation claims.

The 8-to-l decision seems to mean that almost any form of group legal services will...
Even after the Senate censured him, Connecticut Democrat Thomas Dodd went ahead with plans to bring a libel suit against Columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson. Most lawyers knew, however, that he had little chance of success in the wake of the Supreme Court's 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan decision, which makes it all but impossible for a public official to win libel suits unless he can prove malice by the defendant. Recognizing that fact, Dodd last week withdrew the libel action, though he continued to press suit against the newsmen for having conspired in the stealing...
...excellence of its food. Hong Kong is the shopper's paradise ("the world's biggest PX," as one R & R-er described it); it is thronged with purposeful G.I.s looking for camera and tape-recorder bargains offered by its freeport status, and perhaps an instant custom suit for $35 ordered and fitted within 48 hours. Hong Kong is also the most popular R & R center for the Seventh Fleet; the arrival and departure of U.S. ships coming off patrol duty off Viet Nam is recorded on an updated blackboard at many a bar-dancehall in its famed Wanchai...
