Blocking Out Objections. Other courts will probably soon have to decide what uses of video tape are admissible. Professor Charles Joiner, associate dean of the University of Michigan Law School, sees no reason why tapes should be barred. In the not-so-distant future, he predicts, "the testimony of each party and witness could be taken at his convenience, and when all is in readiness the jury could be shown the tape." Lawyers will still probably want most witnesses to appear live in court. But Professor Joiner points out one further persuasive advantage of tape. The jury would...
...Post-Dispatch's Joseph Pulitzer Jr., 54, grandson of the founder, is urbane, aristocratic, international-minded and remote. Globe Publisher Richard H. Amberg, 55, who was brought in from Syracuse by Sam Newhouse when he bought the paper in 1955, is hard driving, domineering, locally oriented and a joiner.

His tenor delivery of Galway Bay at public dinners sets Irish eyes to smiling; his show tunes at bar mitzvahs please Jewish friends. A joiner, he is an American Legionnaire, an executive board member of the National Council of Catholic Men, and a member of Citizens for Decent Literature. A sign on his desk reads...
...like-Mike campaign. But Republican Rhodes (sure to win the G.O.P. primary) has a fighting chance to beat Di Salle in November. Rhodes is a versatile man who served two terms as president of the Amateur Athletic Union and coauthored three books of U.S. history. He is a tireless joiner and a proven vote getter who, in winning reelection as auditor in 1960, gathered the largest number of votes ever given any candidate for an Ohio state office...
