...freedom-of-religion bill became the test case. For years, Spain's non-Catholics have almost been non-people, barred from participating in the mainstream of Spanish life. They were, in fact, not even officially recognized as having been born, married or buried-since Spain acknowledged those milestones only when they were sanctioned by the Catholic clergy. Under the new bill, the old strictures would fall away. Though Roman Catholicism would remain the state religion, Spain's 30,000 Protestants, 6,000 Jews, and 1,000 Moslems would enjoy the full rights of Spanish citizenship, be allowed...
Balancing Dissent. The Appellate Court flatly refused to raise a protective umbrella over all "symbolic conduct"-noting that such a broad interpretation might include anything from a "thumbs-down gesture to political assassination."

...from the gates of the U.C.L.A. campus. It was opened last November by two ex-television writers, Jerry Hopkins, 31, and Corb Donohue, 26, who invested $1,000 to make it a shop that any junkie could call home.

Their rent is $225 a month, and more than half of their goods are on consignment. Among the Headquarters merchandise: prism spectacles that even without drugs make...
...prevent a doctor's signing up with a cut-rate laboratory thousands of miles away from his consulting room and sending his specimens by mail-regardless of the fact that delay may make many of them useless. Some mail-order laboratories have been caught sending out test "results" on specimens that they had never examined, even in such life-and-death matters as cancer smears...
Bursting with Ballyhoo. Scopes, 66, still considers himself a freethinker, but he admits that he was chosen to test Tennessee's anachronistic antievolution law because he was the only available high school teacher left in the dusty little mining town of Dayton (pop. 1,800) that summer when local Chamber of Commerce types decided to work up a little publicity for themselves. Called away from a tennis game one hot afternoon, Scopes duly reported to "Doc" Robinson's drugstore, where a bunch of ambitious boosters asked him if he had ever taught evolution. "To tell the truth," says...
