Another difficulty is the treacherous syncopation of Bernstein's score, which sometimes leaves stragglers among the singers. The six-piece orchestra under John Forster keeps up with the score amazingly well, although it cries for a little fleshing out. Predictably the most effective numbers are the slowest and the smallest--a duet in a taxi cab and an enchanting quartet in a subway car. The most ragged number is the heavily-syncopated "New York, New York," which could stand some rehearsing to metronomes...
...taking life, after all." She was excused -as 431 other veniremen have been in the four weeks since Speck's case was called in the Peoria courtroom of Illinois Judge Herbert C. Paschen. By last week only eight jurors had been selected in one of the slowest pretrial impaneling procedures in U.S. history...
...Peoria proceedings were dragging more slowly than was really necessary. In the heavily publicized fraud trial of Influence Peddler Bobby Baker in January, it took only one day to impanel a jury. Federal Judge Oliver Gasch said, "I see no reason why jury selection should be the slowest process in the American system of justice." The process is much swifter in federal courts, because judges-not attorneys-usually question prospective jurors. But even without the built-in difficulties of digging up unprejudiced jurors for Speck, the Peoria selection was destined by Illinois state law to be a seemingly endless process...
...patched, Genoa's troubles emerged for all to see. Hemmed in by the Apennines with little room to expand, its harbor area is a cramped compound of 1,000-year-old streets and hopelessly antiquated facilities. Operations are further hampered by some of the world's slowest-footed longshoremen as well as a bewildering maze of handling charges, tariffs and hidden fees. So costly a bottleneck has Genoa become that it now handles barely half as much cargo (37 million tons a year) as Marseille...
...increase was a welcome relief not only for stores but for the economy as a whole. Retail sales have generally been running at their slowest pace in two years. The decline is sharpest in such durable-goods lines as autos, where production is at its lowest point since 1961. Detroit last week reported a 21.4% drop in auto sales for the second ten days of February. The decline has also been felt in such nondurables as clothing and household goods, which in the final quarter of 1966 showed their slowest sales gains in three years. Moreover, food purchases, which have...
