Proof Needed. Although the three attorneys defending Sirhan entered objections to exhibiting the diaries, the pages passed from hand to hand in the jury box could only reinforce the defense pleas of diminished responsibility or insanity, which would spare their client the death penalty. The diary also read: Ambassador Goldberg must die die die die die Ambassador Goldberg must die Ambassador Goldberg must be illiminated . . . Kennedy must fall Please pay to the order of Sirhan Sirhan the amount of Sirhan Sirhan...

Becket's eclectic approach lacked the individuality of a Mies van der Rohe or a Frank Lloyd Wright. "We are trying to solve the client's problems, and it is out of the solution of those problems that the design evolves," said Becket. And from his drawing board came buildings for ten of the U.S.'s top industrial firms, six of its leading banking houses and five of its largest insurance companies, as well as plans...
