Just as the artless conviction of her account is taking hold, a spasm of madness shatters her face in fragments as if an earthquake had jaggedly ripped open the mind's thin crust.

Holding a Thin Line. Gideon has already freed (after a new trial with a lawyer) Clarence Earl Gideon, the Florida prisoner who started it all with his now famous in forma pauperis petition to the Supreme Court. More than 1,000 other Florida convicts have been released, 600 have won new trials, and hundreds of others are polishing up "Gideon Petitions." Spurring them on is Prisoner 62601, Theodore N. Turner, , 39, Florida's most accomplished jailhouse lawyer, who solemnly states that "Our thin line of civilized living and culture is based on due process of law. If due process...
