Totally exempt from discipline are what Frank Greenberg, past president of the Chicago Bar Association, calls "the gray mice": judges who "lack the scholarship, the temperament, the learning" and are "simply in the wrong occupation." Says Greenberg, a member of the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board: "There is not a damn thing the discipline system can do about them...
...this mini-series is even more ambitious than its protagonist. By tracing the career of White House Counsel Dean (Martin Sheen), the show can touch on virtually every Watergate headline: the Huston plan, the Saturday Night Massacre, the plumbers' dirty tricks, the Nixon pardon. Unfortunately, Writer Stanley R. Greenberg (Pueblo) retells the story without regard for the niceties of strong character development or well-paced storytelling. In the entire series his only theatrical flourish is the use of a flashback format in the first half. Besides being a TV cliché (especially in nonfiction dramas), the device is counterproductive...
...tiresome Mo (Theresa Russell) seems considerably less complex than the title characters of Laverne and Shirley. Nonetheless, Greenberg siphons all of Watergate through this couple, and, worse still, he dramatizes the banalities of their domestic life. John's premarital flings with other women (including a French floozy who seems to have stepped out of Irma La Douce) get more screen time than the Ervin hearings. The Deans' bouts with alcohol are presented with the florid excess of an old Hollywood weeper like /'// Cry Tomorrow...
...above the singleness of the Modernist ideal, Venturi's ideas joined up with the Pop movement, which by 1966 had already peaked in America. Venturi was roundly damned for this by Modernist critics, as Pop painting had been damned by formalist critics seeking to preserve the "purity" of canonical, Greenberg-style color abstraction. But young architects and architecture students thought otherwise; by the early 1970s Venturi, who had built very few buildings, had attracted a considerable following as a theorist and critic...
...efforts were futile. Some players signed up on their own. Hank Greenberg was discharged from the Army on Dec. 5, 1941; two days later, Pearl Harbor was attacked and he re-enlisted. "We are in trouble and there is only one thing for me to do," announced the Detroit Tigers outfielder. Red Sox Slugger Ted Williams, who hit .406 in 1941, became a Marine pilot after the 1942 season. The DiMaggio brothers, Joe and Dom, enlisted...
