...charge, Jenkins issued a denial, arguing that the auditors were wrong in calling the 24% an "overrun." The total amount spent, $376,000, he said, was still less than the $381,300 he claimed the European Parliament had allocated for entertainment by the commissioners. But Jenkins promised to publish quickly the commission's response to the audit as well as "a review of all existing practices and procedures...

The Club has no particular ideology, but it does publish the Democratic Review. At least one freshman has been known to sign up for both the Democratic and Republican Clubs, just to keep in touch with what wasn't going...

The court has repeatedly ruled that the First Amendment protects the press from "prior restraint,"-that is, from laws or court rulings that prevent the press from publishing what it knows. Thus the court allowed the press to publish the Pentagon papers in 1971, despite claims by the Government of national security; unanimously (7-0) struck down a Virginia statute last year that penalized newspapers for revealing secret disciplinary proceedings against a judge; and forbade courts in 1976 to "gag" the press to keep it from printing information...
