...persuasive testimony of the technicians inspired a spirited contest between two aggressive lawyers: Richard Ben-Veniste, 30, the brash assistant prosecutor who has handled much of the tapes controversy in the Sirica hearings, and James St. Clair, 53, the Boston trial lawyer who became the President's new chief counsel for all of his Watergate defense on Jan. 1. Far less defensive than his soft-spoken predecessors, Buzhardt and Leonard Garment, the poised, silver-haired St. Clair sharply challenged any effort by Ben-Veniste to get the experts to draw conclusions going beyond their carefully stated report...
These ten papers stand out, in TIME'S view, for several reasons. They make a conscientious effort to cover national and international news as well as to monitor their own communities. They can be brash and entertaining as well as informative. They are willing to risk money, time and manpower on extended investigations.

...canny and aggressive as the property tycoons in Monopoly. As "trustbusting attorneys," they move around a board populated by such corporate giants as Egson Oil, Nazareth Steel, Major Electric, and ITD I, II and III.

Eve is there knitting, lines of childbirth drawn onto her face, placid as her husband digs in the dirt beside her. A brash and warlike Cain returns, brandishing a spear, and in the mother son exchange that follows Dean throws so much of herself into the part, quivers with so much wise fire, that the most devastating line in the play by contrast is spoken simply and softly, unacted: "All you men, except only...
When White House staffers came up with yet another botched tape last week, they faced the attack of a brash and bright lawyer named Richard Ben-Veniste, who, at the age of 30, is the main courtroom performer for the staff of the Special Prosecutor for Watergate. After hearing that the tape was indecipherable, Ben-Veniste urged Judge John J. Sirica to take custody of all the presidential tapes in question to ensure their "integrity" - a request that the judge promptly granted...
