...trial, Mosley competes with a team of four lawyers for the defense. The courtroom is packed with "family," friends who laugh and whisper insults when Mosley raises objections.

The book also strongly implies that judges are often favorably disposed toward sustaining defense objections, perhaps partly to avoid the embarrassment of having the verdict set aside later because of an error in procedure...

Currents passed through different branches of the printed circuits can form new bubbles, or move or erase existing bubbles. The same result can be achieved by the controlled motion of a magnetic field outside the crystal; this method eliminates the need for any electrical connections to the wafer...
...Simons and Pilbeam noted that the jawbones lacked the large overlapping canine teeth that are characteristic of all apes. Thus, Rama could grind his food with manlike side-to-side movements.

From this evidence they drew two important conclusions: 1) Rama probably ventured into open country to forage for tougher foods than were...

...seems to be having much trouble embracing Easy Rider. Rex Reed, no less, thinks Easy Rider "is a bold, courageous statement of life seldom matched in motion pictures." The current WBCN ad (BCN moves closer and closer to Krackerjacks every day) for Easy Rider starts with quotes from Life and moves on to include forty other critics who feel that Rider is the film you can't afford to miss. This review is dedicated to all those who expected a shuck...
