...workers for contempt of court because mail-sorting machinery in Ritter's courthouse was noisy. He freed 29 felony convicts simply because no attorney was present at their parole hearings. Once he had a reporter confined for two hours without explanation; a bailiff said Ritter was angered by the journalist picking his nose in court. He frequently bullies attorneys, threatening them with "one of those 150 meals the sheriff serves up." He awarded a group of Indians suing the Government more than twice what they had asked for. Until slapped down by an appeals court, he used flimsy pretexts...
...since the Communist takeover in 1949. Now, however, some revisionism is in vogue. In the past year such ideologically diverse American publications as Commentary (more and more conservative) and the New York Review of Books (still insistently liberal) have run pieces critical of conditions in China.

Harrison Salisbury, for instance, fresh from a month-long tour of China, has been able to write in the New York Times about the educational system, border...
...foreign correspondents based in Peking, probably none have been writing about the "new" China with more skepticism than the Toronto Globe and Mail's Ross H. (for Howard) Munro.

Marat/Sade is perhaps the ultimate play-within-a-play, with the inmates of an insane asylum outside Paris portraying the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, a left-wing journalist-leader of the French Revolution, under the direction of fellow-inmate Marquis de Sade. The audience finds itself assuming two roles: on the one hand, we are the French intellectuals of 1808 who are watching the inmates, and on the other, we are ourselves, watching the re-enactment of Marat...
After soundly trouncing Bok's Jocks in football, this footloose journalist hopped into his customized van and took off for Providence, where there was supposed to be a football game. We watched the Brown-Harvard encounter--myself and all the other people in the stadium. We watched the game and noted that at the end Harvard had fewer points than Brown, and we declared the Crimson the loser...
