...Indigent Clarence Gideon. Apparently, much like Goldberg, he sees the cases in terms of the Magna Carta-in terms of human liberty rather than "just convicting people." While that seemed to leave the Justices split about as before, court watchers also noted that Justice William J. Brennan remained conspicuously silent, often the sign of a "swing man" who hopes to engineer a majority vote on a compromise...
Almost as light as a highball tumbler, silent as a hummingbird's flight-yet with twice the wallop of a .45-the Gyrojet rocket handgun sounds like the secret agent's dream. Costing only $1 to massproduce, with a mechanism so simple and rugged that it can be fired under water and requires practically no maintenance, the gun-as advertised-could prove an equally deadly weapon for combat troops...

Charging that Paramount's longtime management had about as much vitality as a silent movie, Baldwin-Montrose Chemical Co. Chairman Herbert J. Siegel and Broadway Producer Ernest H.

One carried a sign that read "Freedom in the Seminary Now." Earlier, seminarians also circulated a statement criticizing Cushing as an "intransigent cardinal-archbishop" living in "an aura of Byzantine splendor." Cushing angrily responded by warning the students that they could not dictate any changes in the rules, and from among the picketers chose the eight men he expelled - six of them only...
