...with life tenure, a handsome salary and protection from capricious removal or congressional retaliation. The judge's part of the bargain is implicit but clear. He is expected to adhere to moral standards far more stringent than those of the ordinary citizen. As Washington Attorney Joseph Borkin has written, the judge is "the epitome of honor among men, the highest personage of the law." The American Bar Association stipulates that he must be innocent of "impropriety and the appearance of impropriety...
...most bizarre writer-v.-writer confrontation since Westbrook Pegler took on Drew Pearson. Charging that Gore Vidal waged "a campaign of persistent, false and defamatory allegations, both oral and written, that he is a Nazi," Conservative Columnist William Buckley filed suit asking for $500,000 in damages.

The plasticity of musical idioms was clearly responding to a mellower comprehension of what had happened to man as a result of the conflagration. Composers were...
Although the written questions are usually open and frank (typical questions run the range of "What can you do besides take cold showers when you're frustrated?" to inquiries on frigidity, birth control, and abortion), the discussion end of these group sessions often look like prayer meetings. Girls sit quietly for two hours, several always furiously concentrating on their knitting, others equally interested in the floor. When Graham asks questions--as he persists in doing--they hang silently around the room. Occasionally someone will whisper a reluctant answer...
