...courtesy; he seems never to be trying to trip them up, only to help the jury get things straight. He shuns anger: "It's not a useful emotion." Yet in summing up, he pulls all emotional stops: his rhetoric sweeps and soars. Williams is inevitably compared with F. Lee Bailey, a more recently risen criminal lawyer. The main difference between them lies in the cases they handle. Bailey specializes in violence-tinged sensation involving such up-from-nowhere types as Dr. Samuel Sheppard, Carl Coppolino and the Boston Strangler. Williams is more the seeker of equal justice for well...
Lane presented his case for Lee Harvey Oswald's innocence last year, in the bestselling book Rush to Judgment. Though one-sided and full of obvious flaws, the book had a certain coherence and raised disturbing doubts in the minds of many readers.

Predictably, albeit unbeknown to the White House, trouble began within the permanent government, as Arthur Schlesinger Jr. calls the civil-service bureaucracies. The report and the speech were wholly the product of the Presidential government. The welfare bureaucracy knew nothing of either, but as closer inquiry put the two together it was instantly perceived that the adequacy of the welfare bureaucracy's efforts and even...
...Died. Lee Simonson, 78, theatrical-set designer, who pioneered a new kind of functional set design, which by substituting style and simplicity for useless clutter and opulence sought to frame the mood of a play without smothering it, thereby enhancing hundreds of productions (Liliom, Idiot's Delight), mostly for the Theatre Guild, of which he was a founder in 1919; of a heart attack; in Yonkers, New York...
