Precarious Dr. Jekyll. Douglas argued that U.S. military courts consistently dispense an inferior brand of justice. At courts-martial, he pointed out, enlisted men are tried by a panel that is usually composed of officers, who reach their verdict by a two-thirds vote, instead of by a jury of their peers whose verdict must nearly always be unanimous. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, Douglas noted, continues to be primarily an instrument of discipline and not justice. He indicted the system as "marked by the age-old manifest destiny of retributive justice" and as "singularly inept in dealing with...
...Rome and shows at Manhattan's Forum Gallery. Gilles pie, who first went to Italy on a Fulbright in 1963, paints with tempera and oil on wood panels, as did Bellini and Giorgione, and loves Renaissance perspective.

The foot soldier who delivers the tenderly piteous speech that includes "I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle" is a Negro, suggesting that the king rules by exploitive oppression. When the list of the French dead is read, each dead man rises with a blood-splotched white mask to stand at the footlights in a solid phalanx...
