...June 1967, Grant B. Cooper flew to Danang to win acquittal for a Marine sergeant charged with murdering a Vietnamese civilian. The boy's parents paid his fee, but the grizzled lawyer picked up the air fare. When somebody asked him why he went all the way to a battle zone halfway round the world, Cooper replied: "I've never defended a man in a military court before."

Into the power vacuum stepped the indefatigable, incorruptible Pinkerton, self...
...Dallas' Neiman-Marcus department store set out to pretty up for the holidays, somebody thought it would be fun to have Christmas trees decorated to the specifications of various celebrities. Television's Smothers Brothers' tree is a roost for 50 peace doves. Socialite-Artist Gloria Vanderbilt Cooper's tree is a collage of gingham swatches and lacy Christmas cards. Baroness Maria von Trapp directed her tree be festooned with homemade cookies-even sent the recipes along. But no one could hold a Christmas candle to Songstress Pearl Bailey who, when asked what she wanted...
