From his huge oak bench high in Manhattan's gold-topped Federal courthouse, aging Judge Francis Gordon Caffey looked down last week upon a courtroom empty save for two dozen polite attorneys.

Novelist St. Johns' latest book, to be published Feb. 15, is entitled The Root of All Evil...
Other album I wanted to mention is included in an experiment by Columbia Records to aid the music student. They have just released a series of albums that they call the "Add-A-Part." Quite simply, the idea is that you get an album of string quartet music minus one part.

Included with the album is the complete score for the first violin part, so that you can practice quartet playing to your heart's content...
