...judge recalls, "the court has witnessed the collapse of a chair under the weight of a state trooper," while "the justice got the zipper on his gown caught in his tie and sat out an entire session thus involved, with the tie hanging out like the tongue of a Saint Bernard." The court, of course, had some serious cases, not the least of which involved a woman who complained violently about speeding on Mount Vernon Road.

...lifeboat survivors and crowd scenes in his blue 1962 lithograph, Stunt Man I. Each of an edition of 37 now costs upwards of $200, if one can be found. Though no longer so cheap, graphics are still finer for many than are oils. There may be no end to Saint Jakob's ladder...
