...Justices. "Bill Douglas is positively embarrassed if anyone on the court agrees with him," said one colleague. Increasingly, his impact on the court was diminished by his failure to include the legal reasoning behind his opinions. Concedes Law Professor Charles Ares of the University of Arizona, once Douglas' clerk: "His impatience with dressing up his opinions with careful arguments will probably cause Douglas not to be ranked right at the top by the experts." For almost 37 years -first mostly in dissent, then as part of the Warren Court majority, finally in dissent once more-he etched a record...
Local Suckers. Two of the mayor's more idiotic henchmen report they have discovered the government inspector, Ivan Alexandrovich Khlyestakov (Austin Pendleton), living incognito in a local hotel. This chap is actually an impecunious government clerk from St. Petersburg, but once he appears, sycophancy reigns supreme. Khlyestakov is a fop with the instincts of P.T. Barnum. He rooks the local suckers of all their ready cash, comes close to seducing the mayor's wife (Sloane Shelton) and daughter (Erin Ozker) and then blows town. Like the tolling of the bell of doom, a resplendent attaché arrives from...
...September 31, Frisoli appeared at a council meeting with his proposal that all councilors be required to file detailed records of their personal finances, as well as civil and criminal dockets, with the city clerk. The council had been recently debating whether a similar requirement could be made on a city treasurer who had somehow run up more than $25,000 worth of gambling debts.

But for five months the IBES failed to send him so much as a dime. Since his wife Mary Anne's earnings as a file clerk do not cover much more than food for the family of five, the Quinns' electricity and phone bills went unpaid, and both services were cut off. Finally, on Aug. 8, Quinn got checks for $1,938 of the $3,212 that the IBES owed him. Since then, there has been...
...hunters check hotels in Lower Manhattan, and a clerk at the Seville on 29th Street recognizes the picture of Segarra. At 1:10 a.m., an officer raps on the door of the suspect's room, identifies himself, then breaks in when he hears sounds of the door's apparently being barricaded. Segarra, 24, dressed in his underwear, is there with his wife and three-year-old son. He spread-eagles himself on the bed and surrenders. He says that he last saw Velez, the suspected killer, at an apartment on Clinton Street. Thirty-five officers go there...
