Christy, a respected trial lawyer who has not been active politically in recent years, was once a U.S. Attorney, and won a conviction in 1959 against Mobster Vito Genovese on a narcotics conspiracy charge. In 1954 he helped convict Frank Costello, then the so-called prime minister of the underworld, of income tax evasion. Christy promised to conduct his investigation "as expeditiously as possible." As before, the President was standing by his aide, who has denied the allega- tions. During the probe, Jordan will stay on as Carter's Chief of Staff...

...ballgame, they've turned up the static again, and the crowd is getting ugly. The Red Sox are down 1-0 following a big Toronto third inning, which is to say as big as Toronto third innings ever get. The static continues, louder--it's like that night Elvis Costello cleared out an unsimpatico crowd by telling his roadies to turn up the white noise...

The song "Wildwood Saloon" describes the travails of a woman of questionable reputation, and two other songs--"Pin a Medal on Mary" and "Stranger in the House," written by the infamous womanizer Mr. Elvis Costello--glorify adultery, which threatens to rend our societal fabric.
