...basis for arrest, which, in turn, was claimed to justify the search which disclosed it." Judge Van Voorhis insisted that a frisk should be tightly limited to its only legitimate purpose: "To discover and seize dangerous weapons." If it becomes "a general search of the person" in patent violation of the Fourth Amendment, warned Van Voorhis, "we shall have progressed a considerable distance toward the police state...
...Patent Sophistry. But competing with Buckley becomes more difficult with each week that he is on-camera. To his peerless rhetoric he is now adding increasingly polished stage business. Just before he delivers a cruncher, his tongue licks from the corner of his mouth, his patrician voice rasps into a lower register. Similarly, the elevation of his eyebrows telegraphs the drop of a guillotine blade. Another Buckley tactic-when the antagonist has the floor-is to close his eyes, as if he is hearing insufferable platitudes, or to raise them heavenward, as if to invoke Aquinas against such patent sophistry...

Clad in tightly fitted, wine-red flared Edwardian jacket over a wildly ruffled white lace blouse, skintight, black bell-bottom trousers, silver-buckled patent leather shoes, ghost-white makeup and tons of eyelashes, she pops in to a cocktail party, not unlike the one Julie Christie goes to in Darling, at Robert Eraser's art gallery on Duke Street. There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford...
