...tactical triumph for the Government, Judge Earl Carroll barred all testimony on the religious and humanitarian motives behind the defendants' actions. Sanctuary lawyers nonetheless managed to slip several such references into testimony, and they plan to cite Carroll's ruling when they appeal the verdict. Prosecutor Reno, grandson of a Methodist preacher, faced some obstacles. He had the unenviable task of portraying as criminals a group of pious Good Samaritans (who held a prayer meeting after the jury announced its verdicts). One of the 15 Central Americans summoned to the stand by Reno, for instance, described a defendant...
...Tucson, the tumultuous six-month "sanctuary" trial went to the jury last week. Lawyers defending the church workers pleaded with Federal Judge Earl Carroll to let them point out the inconsistency of the Government's asylum policy to the jurors. The judge ruled that this was irrelevant.

...calculator, a math major, Johnson had played a tidy second base for Earl Weaver's best teams in Baltimore. During the '60s, before computers were cool, Johnson wrote a program designed, as he put it, to "optimize" the Oriole lineup. Weaver never got around to installing it, but he loved to hear his second baseman talk. To Johnson there are no "hitting streaks" or "hot hands." There are "favorable chance deviations." The Mets' general manager, Frank Cashen, also came from Baltimore. He is considered conservative, though ( a better word would be careful. While Cashen tilts especially toward caution...
...sanctuary of the suburbs. Nonetheless, the surges of prismatic energy in the clothes they make and wear have little relation to the settled design ideas of Seventh Avenue. Some garments, like an outfit by Eva Goodman that resembles a series of sewn-together Hula Hoops sprayed with an Earl Scheib paint job, press hard on the outer edge, looking for the place where far-out goes...
