...drama, climaxed the first week of the trial. Speck, who has received more careful legal and physical protection than any other murder suspect in recent history (his trial was shifted from Chicago for fear of adverse publicity), is represented by Public Defender Gerald Getty, 53, none of whose 80 odd murder defendants has ever received a death sentence. The accused, sometime merchant seaman and ex-convict, seemed to have been crossed up only by the one event of July 13 that the killer had overlooked.

A republic of art rather than a state of trance was their...
...Yard sellers in turn get their marihuana from large suppliers in Cambridge. A typical one is a 22-year-old who dropped out of Harvard after his freshman year. He shifted around Cambridge doing odd jobs until a friend of his from New York told him about the pot market. Now the friend supplies the Cambridge seller with pot from what is probably a large New York organization, which gets the stuff from Mexico...
