Under Ramsey Clark's guidelines, all federal agencies and departments-including military intelligence units-must get permission to bug from the Attorney General. And, said an aide, he is not likely to be "terribly permissive." Except in national-security cases, or with the consent of one of the parties, the memorandum forbids tapping of telephones or electronic probes that involve physically trespassing into a closed room. Left unclear by the memorandum's cautious wording was whether such sophisticated bugs as the "detectaphone," which can hear through walls, may be used by federal agents. The memorandum merely observes that...
...means has all opposition disappeared. Sex education is still suspect in many parts of the country, and often severely limited. Many teachers are still afraid of getting into trouble with trustees or families. Some schools require the parents' written consent before children may attend the classes or lectures. But school systems with a diversity of religious groupings are launching experimental programs. New York City's begins next September, Chicago's started last winter, and 400-odd others are under way. This year, for the first time, the Federal Government is awarding two grants specifically in the field...
...late '50's and early '60's, Preminger turned to social spectacle (Anatomy of a Murder, Exodus, Advice and Consent, The Cardinal).

In many states, felony results in permanent loss of the right to vote, to sue, to enter contracts, to transfer or inherit property, to hold public office, to testify, to serve as a juror and to take civil service examinations. Even after he pays his debt to society, a felon may be barred for life from all sorts of positions requiring...
...countries, which contend that they must have preferential tariffs in order to escape their poverty. Under French pressure on behalf of France's former colonies, the Common Market failed to trim duties at all on tropical foods and fibers, thus stopping the U.S. from doing so. By common consent, devising more tariff help for the world's poor nations will be GATT's next order of business...
