...traditional cutaway and striped trousers sat Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin, representing the U.S. as amicus curiae (friend of the court). The issue before the court, like all great issues, was basically simple: whether the rule of law or of violence should prevail at Little Rock's Central High School. The legal situation was more complicated. Last June Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley of Arkansas' Eastern District ordered a 2½-year breathing-spell delay in integration at Little Rock.

He searches through the mail order catalogues of Paris whoredom, through a low-comedy marriage, through Central Park-until he finally finds Annabel's reincarnation in Dolores Haze, known as Lolita. She is his culture-vulture landlady's daughter in a small New England town where Humbert has holed up to do some literary work. The girl is just a gum-chewing, Coke-filled, comic-book...
