Luckily for Jones, as he now acknowledges, "I had good friends in Washington who are lawyers." The firm of Welch & Morgan began a systematic series of motions. Requests were made for a transcript of the grand jury testimony, for a quashing of the indictment, for the suppression of evidence obtained by electronic eavesdropping, and for a bill of particulars from the Justice Department. As each motion was denied, Jones' lawyers appealed to higher courts. The question of admitting the portable radio evidence took four years to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, which let stand a decision allowing...
Last week, in an attempt to justify U.S. policy, Presidential Adviser Kissinger held a press briefing. (The remarks were supposed to be for "background use" only until Senator Barry Goldwater blew Kissinger's cover by printing a transcript of the briefing in the Congressional Record.)

The Adams House Drama Workshop combines Come and Go by Samuel Beckett, Landscape by Harold Pinter, and excerpts from The Brig by Kenneth Brown and from the transcript of the trial of the Chicago 8 to form a piece in which the communal aura gradually expands...
What makes the failure of the film all the more disconcerting is that Sacco and Vanzetti deserved so much better. Anyone who reads the transcript of the trial cannot fail to be struck by the purity of motive (particularly in the case of Vanzetti) that inspired their anarchist belief. If Montaldo had been less carried away by his own enthusiasms, if he had been content to let the critical moments (Vanzetti's last speech at the trial, the execution sequence) stand by themselves, the film would have succeeded, if only on the strength of the appeal of the historical characters...
...Figuring that the German government would balk if it knew that the U.S. airlines had directly inspired the diplomatic maneuver, the Pan Am and TWA officers asked that part of the 29-page transcript of their meeting with the CAB members be kept secret. No such luck. The CAB men, miffed that the lines wanted to bring the State Department into the act, put the transcript on public sale -at $1.50 a page...
