Organized crime, regrettably, is often efficient enough to avoid prosecution when it does something significantly heinous. It would be nice if big-time criminals could be locked up just because everyone knew they were big-time criminals. The Anglo-American legal system, however, doesn't work that way. But, if the "conspiracy to obstruct justice" charge sticks, maybe it does...
...altogether easy collaboration. There had obviously not been enough time to become sure about catching the end of the solo runs, with the result that the last movement sounded grim and dogged and too tense. With regard to the difficult dynamic problems of the slow movement, it is often the case that a relaxed, controlled mezzo-piano will actually sound quieter than the strained tone the full orchestra produced when trying to match the soloist's softest passages.

I think the disclaimer affidavit is an important symbol for (like Dean John Monro and many others) I don't want to see students made even more cautious by such reminders of potential danger in political involvement; and I believe such...
