...grand jury, sitting in Edgartown, Mass., began its work with high hopes. Foreman Leslie Leland, a Vineyard Haven druggist, pledged a complete and independent investigation; many jurors were apparently in an indicting mood. Their ambitions were quickly dashed by State Superior Court Justice Wilfred Paquet, 67, a no-nonsense jurist with a reputation for running a tight courtroom. Somewhat Churchillian of mien and manner, Paquet swore the jurors to secrecy, warning them that their lips were "sealed not for a month, not for a year, but forever." He also narrowed the scope of their investigation by informing them that they...
...Paquet's charge left the grand jury with few options. Only three charges were possible against Senator Edward Kennedy: manslaughter, perjury or "driving to endanger," a traffic offense that is generally combined with other charges, notably drunken driving. Citing a ruling by the state's Supreme Judicial Court, the judge denied the jurors' request for a look at the transcript of the January inquest into the accident. District Attorney Edmund Dinis, who had access to both the transcript and the report on the proceedings by Presiding Justice James Boyle, told the jurors there was not enough evidence...

Startled, Leland said that the answer for the grand jury was the same. His reply came as a relief to Dinis, who has become an increasingly reluctant participant...
Carissimi's popular 'Historia de Jepthe' (1645) brought the program to a well-tailored conclusion. Major soloist for the evening, Marguerite Paquet (alto) gave the traditionally tenor Historious part an impressively smooth and certain performance. Mr. Sorenson again delivered a fine solo...
...Blake Recitative' By Edwin Roxburgh (1937- ) received its first performance in the United States. For contralto solo (Miss Paquet) and small string ensemble, the work combined clearly defined theme and form with a lyric excitement and mobility. In that it exploited chromatic resources and non-traditional tensions, it was a modern work. It was carefully thought out and emotionally effective. Miss Paquet handled the difficult solo line with sureness; her performance showed that what might have been thought an unmusical vocal line really just expanded the meaning of lyricism...
