...your $2.70," he said and shot her between the eyes. After the conviction, Autry's attorney had appeals turned down in state and federal courts. When his case reached the Supreme Court last Monday (it had been there once before), Autry's application raised a welter of arguments. But the court declined to grant a stay because fewer than four Justices indicated a belief that the issues would prove significant enough to merit a formal review. Autry would thus have died without a chance to file a fully argued petition...
...cellos better suited to powerful Strauss tone poems. The wind instruments are louder and more penetrating than classical flutes, oboes and clarinets and more complex in their mechanisms. The piano, a huge concert grand with a booming bass, is worlds removed from its gentler 18th century forerunner. In this welter of sound, inner voices are lost, delicate balances are destroyed.
