...independence in 1960, and 13 have followed since. As the continent was swept by a "wind of change," in Harold Macmillan's famous phrase, one former colony after another set out on its own. buoyed by unreasonably high hopes. Few captured the heady mood more eloquently than Julius Nyerere, who marked Tanganyika's independence in 1961 by sending an expedition to plant a flag and a torch atop Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. "It will shine beyond our borders," said Nyerere, "giving hope where there was despair, love where there was hate, and dignity where before...
...year contempt sentence imposed by Pittsburgh Judge Albert Fiok on a defendant who had called him a "dirty son of a bitch" and a "dirty tyrannical old dog." It also seemed to apply squarely to last year's trial of the Chicago Seven. In that raucous proceeding, Judge Julius Hoffman waited until after the jury began deliberations, then declared the defendants and their lawyers in contempt and imposed sentences of as much as four years and 13 days. Under last week's ruling, it seems quite possible that those contempt sentences will now be reversed and that another...
Even so, the judge did precisely what Judge Julius Hoffman was criticized for not doing in the similar Chicago Seven conspiracy trial last year.

As for the defendants, if their appeals fail, they variously face from six months to a year in jail to ponder their courtroom manners...
...productions of Tristan, Ballo in Maschera and an Ingmar Bergman-directed Rake's Progress to excellent critical acclaim. In the guessing game that followed Bing's decision to retire, Gentele's name did not figure among the popular favorites: Conductors Leonard Bernstein and Erich Leinsdorf, Impresarios Julius Rudel of the New York City Opera and Hamburg's Rolf Liebermann and Composer Peter Mennin, the president of Juilliard. "I didn't even know myself until three weeks ago that I was being considered seriously," says Gentele...
...defendants have, in fact, caused a few sporadic disruptions-clenched-fist salutes for the judge and brief scuffles outside the courtroom. But when the new trial opened in Tacoma last week, there were clear differences. For one, U.S. District Judge George Boldt, 66, seems more detached and judicious than Julius Hoffman. His authority has also been strengthened by last spring's Supreme Court decision (Illinois v. Allen), which sanctioned contempt citations, gagging or expulsion of obstreperous defendants. But equally significant, the American Civil Liberties Union has chosen as attorney for two of the defendants a brilliant young U.C.L.A...
