...table in the Hamilton living room, set with microphones, wires and a glass of water. Hugo Black sat before it on a straight-backed, plush-seated dining room chair. The other guests of the Hamiltons, seated in the dining room across the hall, enjoyed a familiar view of the great man in his hour of trial. During it, there were three unprescribed noises not all of which were fully audible to the nation. Once little, Julie Hamilton, 5, came to the head of the stairs in her nightie and called "Daddy."
