Hilles is the first University library designed to make studying a pleasure. The chairs are comfortable; the tables are attractively arranged in small isolated groups. There is no better place to whisper to a study-date or read casually in carpeted comfort. But the architect clearly hasn't worked in a long time...
...recently shown "impressive" restraint. For another, the Sheppard decision clearly suggests that trial judges can and should combat inflammatory reporting by many other devices-holding pretrial hearings in private, granting continuances and changes of venue, selecting jurors from distant localities, sequestering jurors to make sure that they do not read the newspapers and readily ordering mistrials when they...

When Hamlet first plays mad for Polonius, his final "Except my life," appears to be addressed to the old man's parting back. It just doesn...
