an expansion into the diaries as they now stand." And so the debate goes on, and in the words of the poet Yeats:

"The ghost of Roger Casement

Is beating on the door."

ODDLETS

Now'n then a clipping comes in with insufficient identification, so we can't tell exactly who, what, where or when all of which is quite important in reporting news; however, the following bit, apparently from a column in a London paper, and probably describing a TV show, sounded intersting: "Greek Sculpture, directed by Basil Wright and Michael Ayrton, with Leo Genn as narrator, in the same programme. The treatment of the male figure from 3,000 B.C. to the triumph of Alexander the Great is illustrated with eloquence and authority, but one is left with the impression that the Greeks were oddly uninterested in women." Soooo . . . ?

In "The Enemy Within" by Robert Kennedy, the Senator's cute younger brother, there are two or three notable bits, not the least of which is the mention of the union organizer, who, after a tiff with the Teamstermobsters, had to have a large cucumber removed from his backside. In the set-up trial of Jimmy Hoffa for the possession of government documents, Kennedy notes that the government which lost the case should have been more careful in selecting the jurors. For example: "Still another juror had been released from his government job after refusing to take a lie-detector test on the question of whether he was a homosexual. Such persons are not prohibited from jury service. But they certainly are persons the government might find antagonistic to the aims of law enforcement.''

Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada's twin sin cities, both spent the month of June sweating out scandals in which policemen were implicated in robbery rings . . .

"Some half million or more Canadian homosexuals constitute a minority group who are not likely to be remembered by Mr. Diefenbacker when he draws up the final draft of his proposed Bill of Rights. And yet the homosexual minority suffers from prejudice and discrimination of a virulence and severity unknown to any other minority.

"Thus, the homosexual, to remain. within the law, is condemned to a life of enforced celibacy-a situation that is unacceptable to the majority of healthy human beings and one with which most homosexuals are unable and unwilling to live.

"Not a single truly valid reason has yet been advanced to support the present unjust and archaic legislation ... it cannot be shown that such acts between consenting adults in private are either criminal or in any way dangerous to the welfare of society. . . it is hoped that Canada may someday have a group whose efforts will result in the abolition of our own vicious and outmoded laws...
