Dacey's lawyers appealed, but last October New York's Appellate Division upheld the lower court. In his lone dissent, Appellate Justice Harold A. Stevens wrote: "At most, the book assumes to offer general advice on common problems," and therefore was not an attempt to practice law. Moreover, said Stevens, the court's order was a violation of Dacey's right to free speech. Late last month New York's highest tribunal, the Court of Appeals, held 6 to 1 that Justice Stevens was right, voided Dacey's fine and abolished the ban. Said...
...ensemble is more than just a theater. Its home, in a nondescript 3½-story building on Manhattan's Lower East Side, is a honeycomb of workshops intended to serve both experienced and fledgling actors, and would-be playwrights and directors.

The emphasis now is on a different kind of operation. Today the company operates 23 large office buildings, mostly in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Cleveland; it owns more office space (5,775,000 sq. ft.) than the total available in Denver...
...years since Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species exploded in the midst of the square Victorian scene. Man's thoughts about man have not been the same since. Is he in truth just a little lower than the angels? Or did he evolve as just another species of animal? It seems like an old-fashioned question, but it still preoccupies poets, theologians, scientists and-emphatically-naturalists, whose books on primates seem to be crowding each other to get on the publishers' lists...
