                RATIONAL DEBATE SERIES
                             1970




                 AMERICAN MEDIA:
               ADEQUATE OR NOT?

Two veteran Washington newsmen, Philip L. Geyelin and Douglass
Cater, join in a searching debate about the prerogatives, responsi-
bilities, and performance of the American media. Mr. Geyelin,
Pulitzer Prize winning editorial page editor of the Washington Post,
was formerly a distinguished political and foreign reporter for The
Wall Street Journal. He is the author of Lyndon B. Johnson and
the World. Mr. Cater, a guest scholar at The Brookings Institution,
held editorial posts with The Reporter magazine from 1950 to 1964,
and served as special assistant to President Johnson in 1968. His
books include Power in Washington and The Fourth Branch of
Government.






        ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT:
      POLICYMAKER OR ADJUDICATOR?
Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., of North Carolina, debates former Attor-
ney General Ramsey Clark. Senator Ervin is widely acknowledged
as the constitutional lawyer of the United States Senate, where he
has served since 1954. He is the second-ranking member of the
Judiciary Committee, fourth-ranking member on the Senate Armed
Services Committee, and second-ranking on the Government Oper-
ations Committee. He was associate justice of the North Carolina
Supreme Court from 1948 to 1954 and a member of the United
States House of Representatives in 1946-47. The former attorney
general served in high posts in the Department of Justice through-
out most of the 1960s, during the critical years of the struggle for
civil rights. President Johnson appointed him attorney general early
in 1967. The Ervin-Clark debate on strict construction of the
Constitution is already widely recognized as one of the modern-day
classics on this time-honored subject.
