Foreman is a man of bewildering contradictions. His personal charm, when he cares to exercise it, is overwhelming; yet he has been known to snarl at dilatory waitresses: "I get $200 an hour, and you have taken up $60 worth." In the courtroom, he would almost literally die for his clients; during conferences in their cells, he often cusses them up one side and down the other.

Righter is already counting his accomplishments and measuring his joy. The dean...
Next to impersonations of Ed Sullivan, perhaps the most predictable feature of network television in recent years has been the outburst of yet another feud between the Smothers Brothers and the men in CBS's program-practices division. Otherwise known as censors, these men regularly delete what they consider to be the most offensive cracks from the Sunday evening Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. With equal regularity, the brothers threaten to quit. Last week, after a prolonged dispute over several parts of the March 9 program, CBS bounced the entire show and substituted a two-month-old rerun. The network...
