...defense, Lawyer Jerome Daly argued that under the Times decision, Rose was a public figure both as legislator and professor. Daly declared that Rose was a member of "the Jewish usury element" which is "part of the Communist conspiracy" that is taking over Federal Reserve Banks. In her testimony, Miss Koch accused President Kennedy of "treason" for investigating disarmament and said that President Eisenhower was "engineered" into office by "them"-not Communists, exactly, but something more sinister called "Organization...

A farm boy, intent on exploring the grounds, dies impaled on the spiked wall, and George bugs out to New York, leaving his lawyer to slip $500 in hush money to the family. Why does a man like this want to be a gentleman? It seems that "becoming a gentleman" was an obsession that Father Abraham had developed and that he thought of as "the Lockwood concern"-concern being the Quaker word for a Friend...
