...crime are rinding a happy hunting ground in Brooklyn, Newark, Boston, Chicago and New Orleans; U.S. attorneys are making new use of immunity pledges to get lesser lawbreakers to inform on bigger ones. Lawyers report that accused politicians have become nervous about trial juries. Being an investigator or a fearless prosecutor now seems as sure a route to becoming a household word as to be chosen Vice President of the U.S. This would seem to be one of those times similar to England in 1876, when Gladstone believed: "Good ends can rarely be attained in politics without passion, and there...
GREAT SWEDISH FAIRY TALES illustrated by John Bauer. 239 pages. Delacorte/ Seymour Lawrence. $7.95. These slightly static stories introduce a world of fearless children who come to no harm, questing princes, and, above all, trolls and tomtes. Trolls, as everyone knows, are huge, gnarly creatures.

But it is also difficult to stand Harry. His soulless soliloquies and fearless superficiality thoroughly sour the movie...
Behaving more like a fearless cowhand than a member of royalty, Princess Anne, 22, did not hesitate when a fellow huntsman tumbled off his horse. "Leave the horse to me!" she shouted, then overtook the runaway on her own bay gelding, swung low in the saddle and grabbed the horse's reins to bring it to a halt. Later in the Cheshire Hunt, another rider fell: "The princess jumped over me and went straight after the horse," the fallen rider recalled. "She did very well to catch him. Afterward she said to me, 'You were very lucky...
