...capital cases, Governors in the 38 states that still retain the death penalty took cautious positions. California's Governor Ronald Reagan went on record again favoring the death penalty, but none of his state's 99 condemned men and women are expected to go to the gas chamber before late summer at the earliest. Ohio's Governor John Gilligan refused to be prodded at all by the court's decision. He flatly barred executions in his state, where 52 persons wait on death row, until the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the death penalty...

At its Chicago headquarters, Bach chamber music wafted from hidden loudspeakers, while Technicolor-plumed finches twittered in a giant cage. The boss, bumper-bald Gordon Sherman, 43, was in the office round the clock some days-and other days scarcely at all. A man of intense energy and occasional brilliance, he often worked at home, where he also liked to tend his orchids and hummingbirds or tootle his oboe and English horn.
