...Overturned, 5 to 4, the conviction of Raymond Downum on federal charges of check forgery. A key witness had failed to appear at the opening of Downum's trial in San Antonio, and at the prosecution's request the jury was dismissed. A new jury was impaneled only two days later and the trial begun. But, ruled the Supreme Court, the jury switch nonetheless amounted to double jeopardy. It was the third civil liberties decision in five weeks in which President Kennedy's two appointees were split. Each time Justice Byron "Whizzer" White has voted with...
...reason for the ruckus is the donor: Raymond Cyrus Hoiles, 84, a crusty, rasp-voiced publisher from Santa Ana. Calif., who plans to use Rampart College to promote the same "libertarian" philosophy with which he force feeds the 252,712 buyers of his five-state chain of Freedom Newspapers.* Hoiles's foes say he is to the right of Herod; he is, they say, an anarchist who carries laissez-faire economics to its illogical extreme...

A pity, too, for the magic goes well until a closeup breaks the spell...
...Raymond plays Christy Mahon, the dreamy wanderer whose bloody tale of parricide bewitches every hearer on that lonely and scandal-starved strand. Pegeen clucks over him like a pullet, the Widow Quin sets traps for him, and a bevy-for there is no other word to describe these refugees from some amateurish Pirates of Penzance-of young girls pelt him with phony giggles and surfeit him with breakfasts of duck eggs, fine fat boiled hens, cakes, and pats of butter wrapped in cabbage leaves. Too many cooks can spoil a broth of a boy, and Christy's vanity spurs...
