Sophoclean Horror. First policeman on the scene was Patrolman Daniel Kelly, who, by tragic coincidence, had known Gloria Davy and used to date her sister Charlene. Said another officer: "The bodies were piled up like in a Nazi prison camp." It was indeed a scene of Sophoclean horror. A pool of blood glistened on the floor of one bedroom. In another, a torn, blood-soaked bed comforter lay under a two-piece yellow-and-white bathing suit that had been hung up to dry. The pages of a mimeographed lecture ("The Mental Mechanisms for Ego Defense") were strewn about...
...anything else, is what has galled Charles de Gaulle and spurred him to insist that France develop, for example, her own atomic force de frappe.

All who wanted to stay in school would be granted deferments until they graduated or dropped out of college or certain graduate studies, most notably medical school. At that time, they would join 19-and 20-year-olds in the "priority category...
...little too short, and comically bent. It looks all the funnier when juxtaposed with the long straight staff carried by the prim and proper Chief Justice (Alexander Clark). When Kilty tries to use his stick as a sword, the result is worthy of W.C. Fields' famous attempt to play pool with a crooked...
