This is a new subscription. In many cases the Observer makes a very good Christmas gift, and a fairly inexpensive one. We shrink from the commercialism of Christmas, too, and therefore hope this way of doing something real with a gift may appeal to you this year, as it does each year to large numbers of our readers. If you have meant to give someone the Observer this is a practical time to do it, too, because of our Christmas rates. For the first gift subscription, the usual $5 rate applies; for the second one, $4.50; for the third and for each subsequent gift subscription, $4. You can send ten gift subscriptions for $40. We will send a_ straightforward, wellprinted gift announcement in color to each of the recipients, and we will hand-sign these with your name as the giver, if you so specify in the relevant place on the forms below. Thank you, and Merry You Know What.

The “Goldwater conspiracy” had to be smashed. Just once during Stanford’s accounting was there a hint of heckling. One of the Cubans, wearing a white shirt open at the neck and later identified as a member of the Cuban Student Directorate, met a Stanford contention with a loud but polite: “I beg your pardon.” After Stanford’s talk, moderator Levy announced that questions would be welcomed at the end of the formal speeches. “I see we have a few unfriendly visitors who have been highly hostile in the past,” said Levy. “Don’t we have freedom of speech?” Subscriptions for $4 Subscriptions to the Observer can be bought by groups at a cost of $4 a year, provided ten or more subscrip tions are entered at one time. If you belong to a group that might be in terested in this, perhaps you will want to take the matter up with the others.

As if to punctuate that querulous question, the man in the white shirt suddenly leaped toward Stanford, fist cocked and voice booming: “Speak up. I am for Cuba too.” A countrymanthe white shirt’s brother, we later learnedstepped to the podium and waved an invisible red cape at Stanford. “No one in a communist country can do what he can do,” he announced grandly. Someone else yelled : “He’s for Russia.” So quickly that they seemed to spring out of the walls, more Cubans jumped forward and unfurled a banner: “Communists kill Americans in Vietnam.” Flustered and florid, Levy struggled for control. “In the future,” he said, “we will have the police here. Those who claim to represent free speech won’t give it to us.” For twenty minutes the demonstrators shouted and milled aimlessly about the podium; it became impossible to tell the speakers without a program. The white shirt led the chorus: “Communists. Communists. Murderers. Murderers.” Stanford sat rather bemused, passively puffing on his pipe. A man whose book collection was rifled by the legal authorities might expect little better from the masses.
