...jury system does not make sense." But in that decision (Delli Paoli v. U.S.), the four dissenters argued, in the words of Justice Felix Frankfurter, that whatever is said in joint trials "cannot be wiped from the brains of the jurors." And this year the court seemed to lean toward the Frankfurter attitude as it struck down a similar kind of mental gymnastics: the old custom of asking the same jury to determine both the validity of a confession and the confessor's guilt or innocence. Even if the confession proves to have been coerced, how can a jury...
Toothsome Telegenicity. Center Candidate lean Lecanuet, 45, drew his support from Centrist De Gaulle himself-and thus was decisive in forcing the runoff. His well-organized advertising campaign depicted him as the youthful symbol of France's future, a kind of French Kennedy ("John Fitzgerald Lecanuet," sneered the Gaullists).

But he was also a lean and righteous priest who dispensed his gifts with an eye for punishing the unworthy as well as rewarding the virtuous. Moore's jolly, open-handed Santa changed all that. Then came Dickens and A Christmas Carol in 1843. Within 20 years-thanks in part to countless readings by Dickens himself-Bob Cratchit and his lame son, Tiny Tim, had become the heroes of the holiday, and many an otherwise...
...When I balked at that," she recalls indignantly, "they suggested I work in a bank adding figures all day long." Capucine had other ideas. Instead of examining other people's figures, she thought other people ought to examine hers. The Nefertiti profile, the lean hungry look, quickly made her a mannequin for Givenchy and a top fashion model...
