...description makes Mme. Vuillier blush like a Cub Scout den mother who has been praised for her chocolate-chip cookies. "Please don't call me a magician," she says. "My magic is science.

Gremillion lost his temper. "I am not going to stay in this den of iniquity,'' cried he, stalking from the room. The three-judge court promptly cited him for contempt, declared Davis' seizure unconstitutional-and returned New Orleans' schools to the school board.
