Last week the Marin Superior Court began hearing arguments on whether Buck's bucks can be spread more widely around the San Francisco Bay area. Plaintiffs include 28 social service agencies and the trust's own executor, the San Francisco Foundation, which has been criticized for funding such questionable projects as a bicycle path in well-heeled Tiburon. Opposing any change is the Marin council of service groups, which evidently wants charity not only to begin at home but stay there...
...reliability. She offered a narrow world, not sentimentalized, but comfortable in its coherence. Characters slipped along easily from book to book, much as they do in the vaster schemes of Trollope. In Crampton Hodnet (written around 1940 but prepared for publication only now by Pym's literary executor), one comes upon two old friends from Jane and Prudence (1953), tyrannical old Miss Doggett and her younger paid companion, the self-effacing Miss Morrow. Their props and surroundings are familiar too: the excellent women "full of good sense," the pampered Anglican priests, the warmth of a musquash coat, the bedtime balm...

Legal sleaze, on the other hand, was suspected in some of Mr. Zaccaro's business affairs, in particular when he borrowed money from an estate as its executor.

The long-range result, however, was that the campaign stood still for two weeks for a prolonged and ultimately unincriminating scrutiny...
...crux of the dispute centers around what exactly Stillman had in mind when he established the roughly $1.2 million trust in 1940. John S. Stillman '40, his son and the executor of his estate, contends that his father and Harvard agreed that the trust would finance Black Rock, with any surplus going to the Harvard Forest in Petersham, Mass. The younger Stillman concedes that there are no written, legal contracts to this effect, but claims his father had extensive correspondence and numerous oral agreements with Harvard President James B. Conant '14 and Treasurer Paul Cabot '21 where that was made...
