...Oswald decided to talk to the prisoners in person. Although that tactic was later to be criticized, his personal courage could not be. While police sharpshooters kept watch from prison walls, Oswald and Herman Schwartz, a reform-minded attorney trusted by the convict leaders, walked into the midst of the rebels. The prisoners had created an extremely efficient paramilitary organization. The leaders had commandeered a megaphone, and they dictated a list of demands, which had been neatly typed by inmates seated at a long bench. The hostages were encircled and carefully guarded?both against escape and from any harm...

Historian Benjamin Schwartz's interests range widely, from Confucian thought to the rise of Mao; Ezra Vogel is a pioneer in the growing field of China sociology. Jerome Cohen was one of the first Westerners to become knowledgeable about Chinese law. Historian James Thomson Jr., a Kennedy and Johnson Administration adviser, is already...
Political Compromise. Even though the state court trimmed the final award to $1,365,555, the city objected to the precedent. It has already asked for a rehearing, vowing to go to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. The city council's majority leader, George Schwartz, contends that the decision, in effect, gives courts the right to raise taxes in violation of the separation of powers. According to City Solicitor Levy Anderson, "Elected representatives have the responsibility to determine how much taxation to impose on residents and how to allocate the proceeds for various municipal services and obligations...
