...verdict of not guilty was quick in coming. Remcho insisted that "the jury brought into the courtroom the kind of things that enlisted men know about." Corley, while not arguing with the outcome, regretted that no officer was on the panel to lend "greater balance and maturity." Major John McHardy, the military trial judge, had the most decisive comment: "The verdict was supported by the evidence...
...drive from nearby Inglewood across Watts to South Gate or above on the Harbor Freeway without sensing that the community is one of the most depressed areas in urban America. Absent is even the sense that Watts is an urban community. The broad streets, and ranch-style tract houses lend it an illusion of suburbanity.

To conduct that test, Hafele, a physicist at Washington University in St. Louis, persuaded the U.S. Naval Observatory to lend him four extremely accurate atomic clocks, each valued at $17,000 and weighing 60 lbs.

He pelts with apples a futile existential hero who vainly keeps asserting that he can lend life meaning through heroic action. Nothing works. Grendel's victims perversely take these random torments as signs of divine and purposeful displeasure. They obstinately go on fooling themselves that man can shape the world. Years pass. Grendel grows bored. When Beowulf comes, powerfully secure in his delusions and with the grip of a steam shovel, it is almost...
