Today, as president and producer of the circus, Feld keeps on talent hunting despite cataracts that force him to wear glasses as thick as Coke-bottle bottoms; an aide usually walks with him lest he trip over rigging hidden in the circus sawdust. Feld's major concerns today include quickening the pace of his Red and Blue shows; both are already trimmed to about two hours and 55 minutes. He is also moving into the merchandising of some 200 Ringling Bros.-labeled products from bed sheets to vitamins-an operation that will add at least...
...rights while he is wiping that someone's saliva from his face, or pulling a rock out of his eye. I like to believe that the majority of people would be inclined to place the trust and safety of their rights in the hands of the police, lest they be trampled by these heroic martyrs of Judge Hoffman's courtroom.

She must have been about 75, and she was wearing a trim midnight blue dress and a wild orange velvet hat. Her face was fierce and dark, but she stayed for the whole play, perhaps to see what the Harvard freaks were up to. I don't think she saw what she came for, but her face and her hat made the evening endurable for at least one member of the audience...
