...have thought it was just a joke. He telephoned a housewife who lived near by in Globe, Ariz., and made what the Supreme Court subsequently called "remarks or questions of the irritatingly offensive, adolescent sex variety." The boy had no lawyer, the housewife never publicly testified, no hearing transcript was kept and no appeal was possible. It took a writ of habeas corpus to get a review of the case. Gault could have received a maximum jail term of two months if he had been an adult; since he was 15, he was committed to the State Industrial School until...
...similar sort of treatment, he luckily escapes it. When Marquand graduated from Harvard in 1915 he did not set out to become a starving novelist and it would often seem that the literary world has never forgiven him.

Hughes emerges as the tormented but rambunctious old pirate that he ought to be. Like Hans van Meergeren, who could forge Vermeers but could create nothing of much merit on his own, Novelist Irving...
...before China's Defense Minister, Lin Piao, staged an abortive coup d'etat last fall, Chairman Mao Tse-tung made a month-long tour of the provinces, informally telling party leaders about his continuing political troubles with his subordinates and his clashes with Heir Apparent Lin. A transcript of Mao's rambling remarks, circulated by Peking's Central Committee last spring, was smuggled to Taiwan, where it was released last week. Excerpts...
