...Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal on the grounds that a review of the original sentence would violate the Constitution's prohibition against double jeopardy. But last week the Supreme Court ruled, 5 to 4, that the Constitution does not go that far. It prevents Government appeals of actual verdicts, the Justices ruled, but not of sentences.

In the 2nd century B.C., Hero of Alexandria wrote a book, De Automatis, that described a mechanical theater with robot figures that marched and danced in various temple ceremonies. But the king of all robotmakers was Johann Nepomuk Maelzel (1772-1838), creator of the metronome, who also constructed an automatic orchestra called the Panharmonicon, which could simulate violins, cellos, clarinets, flutes, trumpets, drums, cymbals and triangle. For this contraption, the inventor commissioned Beethoven...
