About 10 years ago, the Union Corse began to move into the U.S. to fill the vacuum created by the partial withdrawal of the Mafia from the narcotics racket. Its chief contact in the U.S. became Florida Gang Boss Santo Trafficante Jr., who traveled to Saigon and Hong Kong to work out narcotics deals with the Corsicans and later turned up in Ecuador to check out a cocaine network in which he had been offered a partnership.

Beyond formal judicial duties, the Justices also fill what might be called showing-the-robe obligations at events like the recent American Bar Association meeting. By the end of the summer most will have attended meetings of various legal advisory committees on which they serve, as well as a conference of the judges in their area.

...Norman Rockwell stereotype of the burly, friendly cop on the corner is partly explained by both economic and social factors. A policeman's job used to carry relatively high status and pay for working-class people. This is no longer so true. Among the unsuitable applicants seeking to fill the ranks are men whose ambition it is to enforce rigid law and order with gun or nightstick.
