...prison, as is Panther Chairman Bobby Seale. Eldridge Cleaver is a fugitive overseas. Last week David Hilliard, party chief of staff, was arrested on charges of threatening the life of President Nixon. Hilliard had delivered an inflammatory and obscene speech during San Francisco's Mobilization Day rally last month, and at one point had said: "We will kill Richard Nixon. We will kill any mother - that stands in the way of our freedom." Said Raymond Masai Hewitt, minister of education: "We speak in the rhetoric of the ghetto and we're not going to change it to suit...
Except for a few quiet outings, including an Armistice Day pilgrimage to World War I battlefields, Charles de Gaulle has stayed close to his country place at Colombey-les-Deux-Églises since his retirement in April.

During preparations for this month's triennial general assembly in Detroit, Christian Century predicted that the N.C.C. would see "a crunch of intense feelings and an unleashing of the urge to tell it like it is." The crunch came last week in Detroit's Cobo Hall. In its meetings, at least, the N.C.C...

Unless customers specifically requested not to be enrolled in the plan, they were billed 100 a month on each $100 owed.
