...Halfback Byron ("Whizzer") White. From Senators, Congressmen, judges, lawyers and party wheel horses, the Justice Department has so far received more than 1,300 nominations for the vacant judgeships. Some of the names were easily scratched off the list: a handful of Democratic bigwigs-including California's Governor Pat Brown-foolishly suggested their brothers and cousins.

Chuck wagon, gunfire, sounding of taps-it is minor ingeniousness at the expense of genius. In the end, the Civil War trick seems merely a capitalization on the war's 100th anniversary fever, and in 1976 Troilus will probably be done again at Stratford set at Valley Forge...
