...saying, 'The 76 man is better.' Maybe so, but how do you know he's better?" For Frankfurter, who entered the school in 1902, Harvard Law was and remained "the most democratic institution I know anything about" largely because everyone's work was measured by the standard f grades. Regardless of background, a man could prove his worth by doing well on first-year exams. Grades left no room for racial, religious, or class bias. All students could compete on an equal footing and be judged impartially. The system, said Frankfurter, "creates an atmosphere and habits of objectivity and disinterestedness...
...become as vociferously anti-Yanqui as the left-wingers who spat at and stoned Richard Nixon a decade ago when he visited South America as Vice President. Peru's rulers have seized a U.S. oil subsidiary called International Petroleum Co., and refuse even to discuss reparations with parent Standard Oil of New Jersey.

So even though he admits to being "an unlettered bum" who has read nothing murkier than Hemingway and Steinbeck, Mr. Breslin is turning novelist. His first novel isn't quite finished, but MGM has already bought the screen rights for $250,000, plus a cut of the gross. Titled The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight, it is about the lighter side of the Mafia. To command those prices, Jimmy's agent must be a Sicilian...
there are a standard clutch, a brake and an accelerator, a steering wheel and a two-speed forward, neutral and re verse gearshift. Power is supplied by a 12-h.p. lawn-mower engine that runs two hours on a gallon...
