Minimum Constraints. Many observers go even further. They question whether Calley can get a fair trial in any court of law-military or civilian. Where, they ask, is the potential juror who has not heard or read some account of events in My Lai on March 16, 1968, that would affect his verdict? President Nixon himself may have influenced the trial when he asserted at his press conference this month that civilians were killed in the village. "There is not anybody in this country," insists Calley's civilian attorney, George Latimer, "who does not think that...
