...news conference the names of the four suspects in the Alabama murder of Mrs. Liuzzo [April 2]. The right of the accused to their own day in court, represented by counsel, is at least as important as the right to assemble and petition or the right to vote. Legal guilt must be proved in a courtroom, not announced from a speaker's platform...
...principal collaborator in drawing up President Johnson's civil rights bill last year, Dirksen now has his sharp-eyed legal staff (known as "Dirksen's Bombers" for their accuracy in pinpointing loopholes in proposed legislation) scrutinizing the Administration's new voting-rights bill line by line.

In one famous case, a tipsy sailor tumbled out of a dance-hall window in Naples and broke his leg. Another dived into a dry dock a mile away from his ship in Palermo and was permanently disabled. Both casualties sued their shipowners...
