...Constitutional law, where "overthrow of the government" is tempered by the Clear and Present Danger clause, restriction of speech is valid. In the country's universities, however, where the unfettered exchange of ideas is essential, free speech must not be hampered. This becomes most important in a world which is frightened and looking for danger. Freedom of assembly and of speech in our educational institutions cannot be dependent upon the day-to-day prejudices and opinions of one group...
...become a force if mistakes of policy had not led the U.S. into a position that alarmed the public. Long before McCarthy, the U.S. had been slipping into the lazy fallacy that all ideas, policies and political systems are approximately equal-a state of mind very different from the valid principle that all men have a right to express their ideas, however bad. Part of the U.S. public, overtolerant of bad ideas, was a sucker for McCarthy's bigoted effort to prove that bad policy must be the work of evil, traitorous...
Pink-cheeked, 16-year-old Zdenka Hyblova had another and more valid reason: she loved her boyfriend Pavel. Zdenka, Pavel and Zdenka's girl friend Alena had long dreamed of escaping. A year ago, all three had made a pact to flee their Communist land together.

Saint Joan gains in stature because-rather uncharacteristically-Shaw stresses what is most valid on both sides rather than what is most vulnerable. He portrays Joan not as a defiantly heroic figure but as a truly mystical one, acting from compulsion rather than choice. He portrays the church less in terms of ethics than of authority, as possessing a sort of spiritual right of eminent domain. All this endows the trial scene with a particular dignity and affirmativeness, and with the right resounding orchestration. In the main, Shaw resists his usual mocking passages for flute or oboe, those sour...
...matter. Frankly, it matters little which "race" received the superior score. Professor Garrett must know that the mental differences within a race are greater than the average mental differences between two races. In the adult mental world it is not race that counts but individual rank on a valid test of intelligence. As for Garrett's chimpanzees, they do not have enough psychological rank to give any reader of TIME an inferiority complex! EDWARD C.
