...abridged freedom of speech. In a 7-to-l decision last week, the Supreme Court disagreed and upheld the congressional amendment by comparing the burning of draft cards to the destruction of tax records, also required to be kept by law. "We cannot accept the view," observed Chief Justice Warren, "that an apparently limitless variety of conduct can be labeled 'speech...
Time and again, in response to such questions from defense attorneys, Publisher Ralph Ginzburg and Editor Warren Boroson, of the now defunct magazine Fact, replied with an unqualified no. Both men insisted that their 1964 article depicting Barry Goldwater as a paranoiac, a latent homosexual and a latter-day Hitler, was simply fair comment on a presidential candidate's fitness for office (TIME, May 17).

Last week, with Magnuson's blessing, two scientists announced in his Senate office that they had dug up the remains of a nomadic hunter who lived near what is now Washtucna, Wash., some 12,000 years ago. The human skeleton, believed to be the oldest ever discovered in the Western Hemisphere, was promptly dubbed the "Cro-Magnuson man" by Washington reporters...
