...American Medical Association declared that a physician should not participate in executions. Dr. Armond Start, who supervises health care for Oklahoma's 5,000 inmates and was originally designated to insert the needle, took the same stance.

These matters may not impress Judge Pratt. Four of the six U.S. Representatives stung by Abscam made similar appeals in his court and lost. Of the six, only one, Michael Myers of Philadelphia, has been expelled from the House. Two others resigned and three lost their seats in elections. Williams believes that his case is the strongest: tapes show that he refused a bribe from FBI agents and that a bureau informant coached him to "tell anything" to the sheik.

...time this favored child of a dozen college directors received her degree from Yale in 1975, she was, in that odd way common to sensitive people who have received a great deal of praise, choking on success. "I resign myself to being lousy on opening nights," she says. "It's not getting easier, but harder. You look out and see people with pads in their laps judging you."
