...letter to The Crimson from the Harvard Republican Club, the HRC publicly comes out against the First Amendment of the Constitution by condemning Draft resistors for their expression of their values in a way that we of Harvard Radcliffe Students for Social Responsibility (HRSSR) feel is so necessary and vital in our violent world. Instead of being impressed with the moral strength of those who have failed to register and who have opposed the Selective Service System, as several judges who have tried and unfortunately prosecuted resistors themselves have felt, the HRC has voted to "support registration, prosecution of those...

Not elder statesmen like Brezhnev's Premier, Nikolai Tikhonov, 77, a man with more experience in government than in the party apparatus, or the widely traveled and urbane Central Committee Secretary Konstantin Rusakov, 72, who lacks a vital prerequisite: Politburo membership. One contender seems to be on the way out. Party Secretary Andrei Kirilenko, 76, used to be Brezhnev's understudy, but apparently lost out on a chance for the starring role because he is in poor health or political disgrace.
