Four years ago, a retired lawyer named Raoul Berger was catapulted from obscurity to national prominence by providing an important part of the constitutional interpretations leading to Richard Nixon's downfall. His book Impeachment, begun in 1969 with only the problem of bad federal judges in mind, happened to roll off the presses during the Ervin committee hearings in 1973; it forcefully argued that proof of a criminal violation was not required to remove a federal official. A year later the Harvard-based Berger published Executive Privilege, which demolished the President's cited historical precedents for withholding evidence...

But many Americans have become restive about the growing power of courts and lawyers, and the Burger Court has begun extricating the Federal judiciary from some emotion-reighted disputes.

But such a scene, with Ray on camera and all the conspiracy buffs waiting for remarks to support their theories, is "way down the line," said Stokes...
...attractions are obvious. Though European experts give Rumanian medical training high marks, admission requirements for Americans are relatively lenient. Until this year, when the Rumanians began demanding at least two years of preparatory college. Americans were accepted directly out of secondary school. It was this lure that attracted Raoul Mendelovice at age 17-immediately after his graduation from New York City's highly regarded Bronx High School of Science with an impressive 97% average. Now in his second year of the six-year Rumanian medical program, Mendelovice notes that he will be finishing up just when his friends back...
