Balancing Dissent. The Appellate Court flatly refused to raise a protective umbrella over all "symbolic conduct"-noting that such a broad interpretation might include anything from a "thumbs-down gesture to political assassination."

Draft cards are vital to running the draft, said the Appellate Court. They backstop lost records and help control evaders. The need to retain them takes precedence over any alleged right to burn them. Holmesians might be troubled...

Donald Douglas Sr., who had rebuffed McDonnell takeover moves in the past, will be "honorary chairman" of the merged company, keep an office as "founder-consultant...
...slathering on white powder. In an era when the feminine ideal was a dimpled and cushiony Venus, she was skinny as a slat. "An empty carriage pulled up at the stage door and Sarah Bernhardt got out," said one wit. A columnist declared that "she never needed an umbrella-she was thin enough to walk between the drops." Dumas the younger, who knew Sarah well because she appeared for years in his Lady of the Camellias and made wads of money for both of them, once said, "You know, she's such a liar, she may even...
