After hearing Mrs. Gall out, Judge Resat Soysal ordered one of the Americans, Sergeant Giacomo Recevuto of Brooklyn, released on bail. Then ignoring a prosecution offer to agree to the bailing of two more of the sergeants, the judge set the next session of the trial some 25 days off-the longest interval...
...nurses in sterile caps, masks, gowns and gloves glided around the table with smooth efficiency. The senior scrub nurse knew the senior surgeon's methods so well that he rarely had to ask for an instrument. A laconic New Englander, he uttered hardly a word.

They had feared that the Supreme Court's ruling in the Du Pont case would be used as a precedent to force companies, big and little, to shuck off blocks of stock in customer firms. But if LaBuy's ruling stands, it could set a precedent of. its own: companies held in similar violation of the Clayton Act need only transfer their voting rights. Deeply disappointed, Department of Justice lawyers may appeal. They well recall that the Supreme Court has reversed LaBuy once before on the case; it upset his 1954 ruling that Du Font...
