...movie, all three hours of it, clearly reflects the post-Khrushchevian inclination of Brezhnev and Kosygin to make Soviet history more objective and less like a Communist morality play. If anything, Salvo is likely to accelerate that trend. At least it provoked Red Star, the army newspaper, to demand still greater realism in depicting Soviet historical figures. Salvo, complained the paper, portrayed Trotsky as "a midget, whose actions were downright silly. Yet how could such a midget mislead the people?" Obviously, declared Red Star's own hatchetman, "he was an experienced and powerful demagogue"-and should be shown...
Though some members of the American Bar Association fret about "solicit- ing," which A.B.A. canons of ethics sternly forbid, the association has voted to aid such efforts (TIME, Aug. 20). The trend may particularly benefit law schools. The University of Detroit Law School, for example, recently promoted a new state ruling permitting law students to try cases in court-a boon to the legal-aid clinic that the university is setting up with a $242,000 Government grant.

Moreover, both he and Mr. Lowenstein spoke in favor of a political coalition of labor, the churches, Negroes, and intellectuals to continue the movement toward reform that has distinguished post-Eisenhower politics. Both Mr. Booth and Mr. Maher, the latter explicitly, questioned the possibility...
...highballing trend to mergers has made U.S. railroads-and their stocks-more interesting than at any time in years. One sign: in its third record-breaking week in a row, the Dow-Jones railroad index last week rose to an all-time high of 236.93. Yet it often seems to take the courting railroads an un conscionably long time between their announced intention and the actual merger. No fewer than eleven mergers involving some 30 U.S. railroads are now pending, including the linking of the Pennsylvania and New York Central, and some of them have been held in suspense...
