Mayor Walter Sullivan opened the three eastbound lanes of the Cambridge Street Underpass yesterday...
Improbable Probability. To explain why, Judge Raymond Sullivan attached a four-page appendix to his opinion that carried the necessary math far beyond the relatively simple formula of probability. Judge Sullivan was willing to assume it was unlikely that such a couple as the one described existed. But since such a couple did exist-and the Collinses demonstrably did exist-there was a perfectly acceptable mathematical formula for determining the probability that another such couple existed. Using the formula and the prosecution's figure of 12 million, the judge demonstrated to his own satisfaction and that of five concurring...
...Undoubtedly," said Sullivan, "the jurors were unduly impressed by the mystique of the mathematical demonstration but were unable to assess its relevancy or value." Neither could the defense attorney have been expected to know of the sophisticated rebuttal available to them. Janet Collins is already out of jail, has broken parole and lit out for parts unknown. But Judge Sullivan concluded that Malcolm Collins, who is still in prison at the California Conservation Center, had been subjected to "trial by mathematics" and was entitled to a reversal of his conviction. He could be tried again, but the odds are against...
...sets have tone-control knobs Still, the fact that thousands of viewers also own high-powered stereo rig: suggests that they may well object to the feedback, spotty pickups or imbalances that occur when Carol Burnett drowns out Jack Jones in a duet, or the band on The Ed Sullivan Show blasts through a crooner's ballad. To compensate, about one-third of the singers on TV practice "lip sync"-mouthing the lyrics to a prerecorded sound track. But this leads to such unnatural sights as lips out of gear or Joey Heatherton dancing frantically and singing sweetly while...
...more success as Lady Psyche, Miss Menaker being another one of those whose acting was twisted into an excessive show of will. Musically the show was a tour de force. The score is interesting enough to justify a detailed treatment impossible here, for it is at once one of Sullivan's most clever (witness the parody of Handel in the scene in which the sons are disarmed) and most serious. Several of the arias reflect his growing concern for the more traditional forms of grand opera. Given the unobtrusive staging it is possible to regard the orchestra with a certain...
