Justice-in-a-Jiffy. A short, stocky man, who presided over every kind of case, from the unsuccessful libel suit brought by Harold Laski against the paper that accused him of advocating violent revolution to the treason trial of Klaus Fuchs and the sensational cases of the "Chalk Pit Murder" and the "Vampire," he soon became known as the "Tiger." Green young barristers would sit up all night polishing their briefs before daring to appear before him in the morning and risk hearing him say, "Let's skip the rest and hear your last point, please."

Composition, Clarity. Short and sun-bronzed, an unlit cigar clenched in the corner of his mouth, Rosy patrols a pitching deck with sure-footed agility that belies his 73 years. He cradles a battered Speed Graphic in his left arm, and from time to time he squints through the range finder, rises on his toes to kill the vibration of the 150-h.p. engine, waits for a wave to lift him and his target simultaneously, then snaps his shutter with a small cable release...
