...wheels of government turned ponderously to silence a critic in Yugoslavia last week. The victim was Mihajlo Mihajlov, 30, professor of literature at the university at Zadar on the Adriatic Sea, who, after a visit to Russia, wrote a frankly anti-Soviet piece for the Yugoslav monthly Delo (TIME, Feb. 19). Grabbed by police under pressure from President Tito himself, Mihajlov was charged with "deriding" a foreign government-a criminal charge in Yugoslavia...

Some Israelis have questioned whether the scrolls merit all the lavish architectural theatrics; Jerusalem children have taken to calling it "the Chinese pagoda." But after inspecting it, supporters have rallied to its defense...
