Apart from some impressive detective work on the riots, there is little new or exciting in the report. The ideas are hardly original. But what is remarkable is the tone taken by the commission, whose membership includes a Southern police chief, two representatives, two senators, an industrialist, a labor leader, a Republican mayor, and, as chairman, a Midwest governor...

Wolfson, 55, was the innocent victim of a U.S. Government vendetta. A New York federal jury disagreed, found the high-flying Wolfson guilty on each of the 19 counts against him. Last week that conviction brought Wolfson, chairman of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott construction complex and one of the U.S.'s most controversial corporate raiders, a one-year prison sentence and $100,000 fine. Federal Judge Edmund L. Palmieri also sentenced...
