...first glance Judge Burger would seem an inappropriate Chief Justice for the possibly turbulent decade of the '70s. He is neither a simple nor an obvious man, however, and may very well confound both critics and friends. Significantly, perhaps, the decision he is most proud of affirmed those very citizen rights that Westin noted. When the Federal Communications Commission turned down a complaint by a group of blacks against a Mississippi radio station that they charged was racist, Burger, speaking for his court, affirmed the citizens' rights to challenge the FCC's renewal of a license. His decision, says...
MALAYSIA'S proud experiment in constructing a multiracial society exploded in the streets of Kuala Lumpur last week. Malay mobs, wearing white headbands signifying an alliance with death, and brandishing swords and daggers, surged into Chinese areas in the capital, burning, looting and killing. In retaliation, Chinese, sometimes aided by Indians, armed themselves with pistols and shotguns and struck at Malay kampongs (villages).

When as a young man in Berlin, Nabokov decided to translate an English masterpiece into Russian, the book he chose was Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps he knew, even then, that...
Assistant Attorney General McLaren is trying mightily to dispel the dark. Since January, when he switched from lucrative private practice as a lawyer defending companies in antitrust cases, he has flailed conglomerates for evils ranging from excessive economic concentration to "human dislocation." Proud that Republicans "have historically been vigorous enforcers of antitrust," McLaren is becoming the most active-and visible-trustbuster since the days of Teddy Roosevelt; his broadsides have helped chill investor enthusiasm for multimarket companies...
