...Brooklyn, ex-Convict George Maldonado had apparently never heard of the old legal maxim that "the man who defends himself has a fool for a client." "Your Honor, I don't feel that this man, in eight or ten minutes, can defend me," Maidonado protested, after a court had assigned a Legal Aid Society lawyer to handle his latest trial for burglary. "I want to act as my own attorney." The judge refused the request. Maldonado wound up in Sing Sing prison. But U.S District Judge Charles H.

Robert Coles, a Harvard research psychiatrist, throws out several fascinating generalizations about "Today's Youth," but considering his proximity to college life, he should have provided more examples...
...remains disdainfully aloof at all times. But Steinberg treats his musicians with courtesy and respect, regales them with a rich sense of humor, rides in the bus with them on tour, and preaches such heresies as "gaiety is the only atmosphere for music making." As for the age-old maxim that deviations from the standard classical repertory spell box-office suicide, Steinberg persists season after season in offering one of the most adventuresome and widely varied pro grams in music...
