Legislators who grump about "socialistic, if not Communistic, doctrines at the law school" have finally found an excuse for striking out at the new spirit. Three faculty members became involved in an Office of Economic Opportunity legal-services program. When they took on a school-desegregation suit in one Mississippi county and another suit challenging the residency requirements of the state's welfare laws, the mossbacks reacted with a vengeance.

This year, with much more bountiful harvests, the German government has refused "on moral grounds" to be party to the destruction of fruit. Government authorities are now weighing the possibility of distilling the excess fruit into schnapps. Germany's Butterberg problem is even more serious.
