...Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Arthur H. Goldberg sat through two hours of the Andy Warhol film Blue Movie, then signed warrants for the seizure of the film and the arrest of the manager, projectionist and ticket taker. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1961 that authorities must grant a preliminary hearing before subjecting the contents of a bookstore to a civil seizure (thus possibly driving it out of business).

For indoor pictures or where the light is poor, the camera uses a five-picture flash unit developed by General Electric...

He has also been unemployed. But all that was before he met a pencil-thin 15-year-old named Lesley Hornby and said: "You're like a twig. I'll call you Twiggy...
