...about a rising global trend toward protectionism, which could inhibit the needed expansion of world trade, and a failure to check inflation, which is now running at a rate of 9% in the European Community. They fear that these developments, which can be corrected only by tough and usually unpopular government actions, could turn the London summit into another exercise in empty rhetoric, like its two predecessors in Rambouillet and Puerto Rico. The summit seven did come out against protectionism, and board members note with bipartisan approval that Carter has so far stuck to his word, rejecting demands for higher...
...clear about the area of adjudication appropriate in this matter. The College has long stood for freedom of expression and must in this case. The University depends for its life blood on the free flow of ideas. Clearly, therefore, it is impossible to protect students from dangerous or unpopular ideas. Their only protection lies in the ability to make fair and clear distinctions and to choose wisely between ideas. The values behind the First Amendment which guarantee the right to a free press must be affirmed in this case. Those values are indivisible: you cannot save them for yourself...

He's in line with the underlying thinking of the people. The country wants leadership." Democratic Congressman Morris Udall likened some of the protest to imaginary congressional reaction on the day after Pearl Harbor: "You interviewed the Congressman from Detroit and he said, 'The Japanese attack...
...giggling, if only inwardly. A burly native of South Boston who has earned a name as one of the best narcotics lawyers in the business, Oteri began involving himself in drug law liberalization efforts and drug-related test cases almost 20 years ago when the job was not only unpopular but also dangerous. His downtown Boston office sums up his success at one glance: the sauna bath, the mirror-lined universal gym and the fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the receptionist. A member of the board of directors of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML...
