Last week's hearing could not avoid the bizarre touches that have marred the case from the beginning. Skindiver John Farrar, who recovered Mary Jo's body from the submerged car, turned up with a lawyer who promptly distributed full biographies of himself and his client to reporters. When Dr. Mills claimed that Dinis was to blame for not ordering an immediate autopsy after the accident, Dinis took the stand to testify that he had indeed wanted an autopsy. But, said he, by the time he had decided to order one the day after Mary...
Instant Elephant. Roger Shashoua, 29, has founded the International Inventors Association, a clearinghouse that he claims has 156,000 members. Through it, Shashoua finds and promotes the ideas of inventors, tinkerers or a few slightly mad scientists. He either brings the products to client companies, which pay his Patents International Affiliates $125 a year to get listings of inventions for sale, or markets them himself through a subsidiary.

The story of the trial becomes almost absurd as we see Sloane Coffin's lawyer arguing that if his client did in fact aid and abet the burning of draft cards, this did not hinder Selective Service but help it, since all draft card violators were to be immediately reclassified as I-A meat on the hoof...
...client's case in court, a lawyer usually has to find a draft-board error either in procedure or in interpretation of the law. In many instances, that search is not difficult. Some men have been drafted at a meeting of only two out of five members of a board; yet the law requires that no fewer than three be present. A San Francisco lawyer, Joel Shawn, 33, recently persuaded a federal judge to rule for his client because a majority of the draft-board members lived outside the district, a violation of the Selective Service rule that...
