...clash between Bailey and Fort was inevitable. The two men have certain similarities-including enormous egos. Like Bailey, Fort is an author and lecturer; like Bailey, he has been criticized for his style and methods. In 1967 Fort was fired by the city of San Francisco as director of the Center for Special Problems because officials claimed he was incorrectly using funds to treat hippies with drug problems. In recent years, Fort has operated mental health and drug-treatment programs in the city. Fort also has been in quite a few courtrooms, appearing as a witness in some 270 trials...
...best form of government--and he also claims a real sympathy for socialism (although "I am entirely against Communism," he says, speaking of the Soviet system). Like many other third world students I interviewed, he expressed great admiration for Chinese "achievements, if not their government." Yet, abstract beliefs clash with immediate practicalities; Poku-Appiah says that military rule--which overthrew leftist President Kwame Nkrumah's regime in 1966--is the proper form of government for Ghana at present. The junta instills discipline: Poku-Appiah says an endemic problem in the Ghanaian bureaucracy is lateness for work, a crime which...
...legal sparring began with a clash between defense and prosecution over whether Judge Oliver J. Carter should allow the jury to hear the testimony of Margaret Singer, a Berkeley psychologist who is an expert at analyzing speech patterns. Bailey wanted Singer to tell the jury that Patty had been reciting her captors' words when she recorded some of her startling messages on tapes that were sent back from the underground world of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Browning, in turn, argued that Singer's kind of testimony should not be heard because of a lack of both legal precedent...
...Bitter Clash. Browning then called Dr. Joel Fort, a San Francisco practitioner in mental health. The prosecution hoped that he would offset the eminent defense psychiatrists, who supported Bailey's contention that Patty had been coerced by the S.L.A. into helping to rob the bank. An eye-catching figure with a shaved head, Fort clashed bitterly with Bailey; at one point, the two accused each other of lying. Fort testified that he had interviewed Patty for 15 hours, studied documents on the case for some 300 hours, and even spent an hour in one of the closets where...
...superb technical direction that characterizes the Leverett House Arts Society's production of Doctor Faustus. Unlike most Houses, Leverett has its own theatre, and director Evangeline Morphos has made the most of its facilities, skillfully transforming the entire room into a three-dimensional world where the forces of evil clash colorfully with the forces of good for control of Dr. Faustus' soul. There's only one major problem with this production: the soul of this particular Faustus doesn't really seem worth all the trouble...
