...fought back so hard that last month two members of the Illinois Supreme Court resigned amid charges of conflict of interest brought by him. Moreover, the revelations about those judges -Chief Justice Roy Solfisburg and Associate Justice Ray Klingbiel-have inspired a committee of the state legislature to embark forthwith on a "top-to-bottom inquiry into the entire judiciary in Illinois...

He calls for an immediate, unconditional bombing halt in Viet Nam and phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. He possibly balances this dovish move in Asia by getting tough with the Russians in Europe, issuing stiff warnings to Moscow against any more dangerous moves on the Continent. He further breaks...
