...glut of an estimated 5 million non-felony cases, the key words of Argersinger must have been those permitting "a knowing and intelligent waiver" of the right to counsel. That phrase, says the center, "has resulted in a 95% waiver rate in some lower courts." In Houston and Belle Glade, Fla., according to the report, "it is assumed that a defendant has waived counsel unless he aggressively asserts .[the] right." In other jurisdictions, "defendants perceive, correctly or not, a tacit rule of court that those who ask for counsel are treated more harshly." Defendants of modest means are supposed...
...dual role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake is one of ballet's supreme challenges, and there are many women who meet it with grace and liquid beauty. Plisetskaya, though, is unique. In the limpid forest glade scenes of Act II, most good dancers prettily suggest a girl imitating a swan. In a breathtaking act of theatrical magic, Plisetskaya somehow becomes a lovely humanoid swan giving a passable imitation of a shy maiden. This remarkable ballerina is now 48, and her short, chunky legs have clearly lost some of their spring. But Plisetskaya's legs seem almost secondary...
...Bambi in 1942, some would say-the reduction has gone even further, acting on Disney's earlier work in a steady process of self-cannibalization that increases to the extent that the early Disney is seen as high art. The animals get cuter and more anthropomorphic, the forest glade more compulsively spotless, the characters blander; and having deprived Mickey of his rattishness, Donald Duck of his foul and treacherous temper, the Disney studio had no qualms about ruining Alice in Wonderland or Kipling's Jungle Book for the kids as well. Yet within the natural bounds...
...long, slim jetliner was trying to land at night in heavy rain at Sheremetyevo Airport, 18 miles northwest of Moscow, and by some accounts was making its fourth pass at the runway. Villagers in the nearby hamlet of Krasnaya Polyana (Red Glade) suddenly heard a series of explosions. Tramping by torchlight across muddy potato fields, they found the red and silver tail of the Aeroflot Ilyushin-62 sticking out of a cold brown pond. Beneath the water, or on the fields across which the plane had skidded, were the bodies of all the passengers and crew. Unofficial reports indicated that...
...dusty, winding and tortuous, but every Wednesday and Sunday several hundred people turn off the smooth concrete of Route 142 near Anaheim, Calif., and bump their way upward to the oak-studded hills of Carbon Canyon. They assemble themselves on folding chairs formed in a semicircle in a glade near the top of the Hill of Hope, and there await the Miracle of St. Joseph. They are never disappointed. At 10:30 a.m., a stocky woman with soft gray hair and intense brown eyes walks quietly in front of a modest pedestal holding a small statue of St. Joseph...
