...proper legal definition of "advocacy and teaching," Harlan's opinion pointed to the 1949 jury instructions of Judge Harold Medina in the landmark trial in New York of Communist Party Secretary Eugene Dennis and ten other top U.S. Reds.

The Berlioz libretto is warmed-over Virgal shot through with a Shakespearean flavor (Berlioz described parts of it as "stolen from Shakespeare and Virgilianized"). To give the sprawling work a proper production and still hold it to a manageable 4½ hours (with only minor cuts), Covent Garden prepared lavish sets and drew on all its artistic and mechanical resources.
