Police State? The possibility of letting violent men loose on bail to repeat their crimes is abhorrent to most citizens. But constitutional experts agree that to keep an accused person in prison because of a judge's belief that he may commit a crime while at liberty could very well violate the due-process clause of the Fifth Amendment. Jim Martin, president of the Dallas County Criminal Bar Association, calls it "most certainly the first step toward a police state." Harold Greene, Chief Judge of the capital's Court...
Pappas has built all this partly on his knack for becoming well known to leaders in politics, business and organized religion-and his ability to use one contact to reinforce another. For years in Boston, many of the city's big men gathered at the daily luncheons of the "Pappas boys," Tom and his brother John, in the dining room of their food warehouse. The brothers became important back-roomers in city and state affairs.

The stagecoach is a jerry-built, rickety job; the dust storms saturate the sky until there is no room to breathe; the silences and empty spaces reduce men to infinite specks. In perhaps the most daring reversal of stereotypes, Mulligan has cast an actual Apache boy (Noland Clay) as Salvage's son. Clay, 11, offers no Hollywood charm, no cloying cuteness, not even a single smile. Even W. C. Fields would have liked...
...powerful Nazi army captured the obscure Russian town of Mga, a railhead east of the Baltic. The Nazis thereby severed the last overland link between Leningrad and the rest of the Soviet Union, clamping an iron ring of men, armor and artillery around the beautiful city first raised by Peter the Great. Thus began the most murderous siege in modern history...
