ACROSS Milk St. from the Post Office Building where Dr. Benjamin Spock's case is being heard stands a sign that reads in large green letters: "Boston Five." A second look reveals smaller letters that complete the title of a branch office of The Boston Five Cents Savings Bank. But the anonymous adman who decided to capitalize those two particular words inadvertantly provided a sort of marquee for the drama of the so-called Boston Five and their fight against government prosecution for illegally counseling draft resistance...

But it did not affect the constitutionality of capital punishment, currently under broad legal attack. In fact, the court implied that should Congress wish to maintain a death penalty provision in the Lindbergh law, nothing in last week's decision would prevent it from approving legislation enabling judge as well as jury to pass such a sentence. Any such provision would not affect Jackson and his pals, but they...
