Attorney Haskell Kassler said that the prosecution had attempted to establish the identity of the defendants "in a truly unusual and novel fashion." He said that if the prosecution wanted to establish that all the defendants were actually in the building without identifying them individually, it would have to establish the existence of "a perfect and infallible net" around those taken from the building and put into the vans...
...Kassler said the prosecution case on the permeability of the perimeter rested on the testimony of two witnesses: Hallice, who was inside the building throughout most of the raid, and Desmond, who admitted he saw what was happening at only one of the four doors...
Towards an end, covering the traffic islands with Kentucky bluegrass would be worse than useless. Squares and plazas are for people to move through and pavement is therefore necessary.

When he worked in the U.S., Dassin was regarded as nothing more than a capable technician of suspense (Naked City, Brute Force). Rififi, a thriller he made in France after five years without work, revealed him as a superb one. He Who Must...
