...Just as Bailey candidly set out to "destroy" the late Marilyn Sheppard last month in his successful fight to win Sam Sheppard's acquittal for her murder. He portrayed Marilyn as an adulteress killed by a jealous wife. Last week, after an investigation, a Cuyahoga County, Ohio, grand jury dismissed Bailey's claim as having "no basis in truth or fact" and rebuked him for raising it. Though Bailey won a new trial for Sheppard by claiming prejudicial press coverage, the publicity in the Coppolino case clearly did not harm the defendant. Superior Court Judge Elvin Simmill...
Hostages to Power. To such arguments, the Administration replies that its object is not to bomb North Viet Nam back "to the Stone Age," as retired Air Force General Curtis Le-May once proposed.

The Court has already thrown out Georgia's county unit system, which assigned counties of wildly disproportionate population the same weight in deciding a state-wide election, and effectively gave the state's farm areas many times the political power of the more populous urban centers...
...point Wilson stopped the discussion to tell a student, "that might be an interesting idea to think about if you ever write a philosophical novel -- your philosophy might destroy your novel." Wilson talks to his students as if they are either great writers already or great writers-to-be. His attitude is typical; most of the seminar leaders call their classes "the best I've ever taught...
