...leading his client through a painstaking description of medical procedure and the treatment of the 17-year old woman, whom Homans protected by dubbing "Alice Roe." Edelin at first appeared nervous or perturbed, but he is a verbal man and responded with lengthy and coherent answers. Alternately furrowing his brow, gazing down at the linoleum floor, or staring sidelong out through a window, Edelin usually paused before answering questions and displayed a calm bemusement when his attorney, the court typist, or the judge stumbled on his scientific terms.

...with Happy and their two children, Nelson, 10, and Mark, 7. To those who know him, Rockefeller had never seemed more fit. His 185 Ibs. are evenly distributed over his 5-ft. 10-in. frame, and there is no hint of a paunch. With his rolling, nautical gait, protruding brow and drooping eyelids, he has the perpetual look of a man facing a severe northeaster-or could it be constant political gales...
