...defenseless men and women." Many jurists, added Circuit Court Judge Irving Kaufman, will be reduced to writing letters asking "how they might tell their children that they cannot afford to send them to college." Other spokesmen have been somewhat more restrained. "We ask judges to be purer than Caesar's wife, but we don't pay them what they are worth," says Harold Tyler, a partner in a New York law firm (and former district judge) who now heads an American Bar Association (A.B.A.) committee on federal judicial compensation. "They are the guardians of our Constitution...
...season's most savory surprise is English Provincial Cooking by Elisabeth Ayrton (Harper & Row; $16.95). Tradition au contraire ("In England there are sixty different religions, and only one sauce"), well-flavored sauces and gravies have graced English food since the Roman occupation. (Pastry, too, was introduced by Caesar's men.) English cuisine, even more than the French, is most notable for its regional diversities, which Ayrton explores and exalts with expertise and charm.

He was 38 years old, yes, but also a master of magic, and there were those who thought that he had harnessed all the weird motive forces of the universe that no one could name, and had summoned all available gods and demons to carry his spears. All the gauges and compasses of the rational mind said he couldn't win, but he was Ali, and therefore he could win; whether he would win, though, was another thing...
...passion--for what is not exactly clear. Now is the time to get paranoid, so that when you get here, you are so numb from paranoia that you can be yourself. Have some jokes prepared--popular ones this year are likely to be, "Hey, did you hear Julius Caesar's in our class?" or, "Hey, I just saw a piece of graffiti saying `Napoleon Bonaparte '84.'" Don't bother memorizing your SAT score; just tell anyone rude enough to ask that you got straight 800s. That'll show...
