...Difference. The defense contended that the anti-card-burning law was passed in "hysteria" by Congress only to suppress dissent; that the law was unnecessary, since it is already illegal to be without the card; that the cards are unnecessary, since all the information is on file with the Government anyway; and that the act of burning is an act of dissent, and as such is protected under the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech...
...these organs improved enormously. One thing that his 30-man team learned from Washkansky's case, said Barnard, is that the recipient's body is less prone to reject a heart transplant than a kidney, so future patients will not be so heavily dosed with drugs to suppress the immune reaction.

Lately, a few papers have been increasing the use of bylines and striving for a more personal writing style. They have also grown more willing to court controversy. "We are trying to create an atmosphere in which people can speak about formerly taboo subjects," says Yomiuri Editor in Chief Yosoji Kobayashi. Not that the press is ever likely to depart from...
