Bill of Rights. Potentially the most important election result was passage of an amendment to New York State's constitution. Called the "conservation bill of rights," it makes preservation of natural resources and scenic beauty a state policy. It also directs the state legislature to write laws that will reduce air, water and noise pollution, thus providing legal grounds for conservation battles in court. Says Attorney Irving Like, one of the framers of the amendment: "It is primarily a new source of common law and legislation...

...Gilman-Salzberg cases come at a time when journalists are increasingly disturbed over Government agencies using the press for their own ends. Recently in New York, a radio station was approached by the CIA looking to recruit foreign correspondents as agents. Over the past year, law enforcement agencies have stepped up the use of subpoena powers for "fishing expeditions" in the files of newspapers and TV news film libraries.
