Does the defense really want an impartial jury? Earlier this month Garry eagerly appeared on TV's David Frost Show to attack M.I.T. Political Scientist Edward Jay Epstein, author of a recent New Yorker article disproving Garry's claim that U.S. police have murdered 28 Panthers in one year. Garry labeled Epstein a "racist" and "paid agent of the CIA." Such intemperance could hardly be expected to do Seale any good. If any of his jurors saw the TV interview, it might be hard to forget-although they are dutybound...

That she would include her son's work in her own narrative-helpfully adding the source-gives an idea of how naive her writing can be. Mrs. Updike has published several stories in The New Yorker since she took up her new career ten years ago, but her "novel" is really a semidramatized memoir...
