Michigan Attorney General Frank J. Kelley investigated, then wrote a letter to the state's department of mental health. "We make no judgment relating to the hospital's handling of the Cronk matter," wrote the attorney general. He itemized the high-pressure techniques against advertisers, and added: "Hospital officials have, in effect, made the state a party to an attempt to stifle freedom of the press by the use of economic pressures. [The hospital's] power has been perverted. Such action cannot be tolerated...
...pair up, and the third pair spread to fly. It was a formula that could achieve a hierarchic majesty-no angelic being radiates more effortless authority than the mosaic cherub in St. Mark's in Venice, unfurling his blue wings against a blaze of gold mosaic. In the general humanization of angels during the Renaissance, the cherub's presence quickly succumbed. He became crossed with the amoretti, or baby cupids, of antiquity; the result, a tumbling, rosy piglet of an angel, did not (even in Rubens' hands) quite make up in charm what it had lost...
...books have been fewer, but choice-notably Thayer's century-old pioneering biography (newly reissued in a one-volume paperback; Princeton, $6.95) and the more compact Beethoven: Biography of a Genius, by George R.

Prior to Beethoven, music in general never moved too far from the everyday interests of its patrons, be they commoners or royalty; this was true of a Bach cantata or a Mozart serenade. Beethoven changed that. As the father of musical romanticism, he made music an expressive function of himself. Later composers carried the cult of music for music's sake too far, and divorced "serious" composition from...
...case came from Georgia and involved the fate of the hearsay rule in state trials. In general, that rule excludes statements made out of court. But the rule has many exceptions and qualifications. Georgia law, for example, sanctions hearsay evidence obtained from a conspirator against his co-conspirators in most circumstances. Many lawyers argue that this violates the defendants' Sixth Amendment right to confront the witnesses against them...
