SR/ UP FRONT:
The Class of '72, Prague-Style By Alan Levy -- What will happen to the newest group of purge victims? Czechoslovak history never quite repeats itself. But settling scores with old friends and enemies in the courtrooms and jails (even on the gallows) is nothing new in Czechoslovakia.
Being imprisoned, in fact, makes one something of an aristocrat -- if one survives.
How Busing Works in Britain By Angus Deming -- 'The British version of busing -- or 'dispersal,' as it is officially termed -- has been attempted in one way or another ever since 1963.. . But unlike its American counterpart . . (it] could hardly qualify as a national political issue." The Recent, Lamentable History of the Texas School Book Depository By William Allen -- Dallas city fathers would like to get rid of it, but the depository is the most famous building in town -- and perhaps the most photographed in the world. Our author, who was in Dallas when John Kennedy was assassinated, records some of the strange things that have happened since the afternoon of November 22, 1963, to the nation's most notorious piece of real estate.
EDITORIALS: The Magazine of Social Change By William H. Honan -- A statement of purpose, together with a detailing of some editorial idiosyncrasies, for the new SR/Society.
Murder in Munich By Ronald P. Kriss -- What happened at the Olympics was barbarous, but it's safe to bet that in no time at all various apologists will be calling it a pardonable act.

THE SOCIETY:
The Double Standard of Aging By Susan Sontag -- An instrument of oppression, says the author, is the social convention that aging enhances a man but progressively destroys a woman. Accordingly, to liberate themselves, women must "disobey the convention,".

Kurt Waldheim: Embattled Peacemaker By Milton Viorst -- The United Nations' new Secretary General was chosen for the job because he seemed the model of diplomatic innocuousness, but he finds himself of late the target of Richard Nixon's scorn. The President's sharp criticism of the Secretary General is symptomatic of increasing disharmony between the United States and the twenty-seven-year-old world body.
Legal Insurance By Thomas De Baggio -- Want a title search on a house? Planning a divorce? Trying to unsnarl an income tax question? What you probably need and soon may be getting is legal insurance.
Mobile Homes: The New Ghettos By Frank Trippett -- The first reports of the "mobile home revolution" were romanticized, telling of the return of the spirit of the covered wagon.
But now the phenomenon may be seen as a new form of ghetloization and as an indictment of America's failure to provide decent homes for low-income groups.
O Canada! By Valerie Miner Johnson -- Is our neighbor to the north becoming the Paris of the Twenties? Not exactly, says a young expatriate. Yet Canada is a good place to grow for those "who have lost hold of nationality." The Question of Presidential Character By James David Barber -- Neither the war nor the economy is the key campaign issue, says a noted political scientist, but rather the character of the next President. The author examines the pasts of President Nixon and Senator McGovern to determine how welt each would perform in office.
A Product-Injury Surveillance System By Stanley Klein -- A new computer-based communications network called the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System rriay spare you grief and bodily harm.
