...Judge Gerhard A. Gesell's scalding lectures to James St. Clair are typical of the outspoken jurist's conduct on the bench. A Yale Law School graduate (1935) and longtime Washington attorney in both private and Government practice, Gesell, a Democrat, was appointed to the federal judiciary by Lyndon Johnson in 1967. He generally takes a libertarian line and has been a tart critic of Government wiretapping, restrictive anti-abortion laws and the Nixon Administration's mass arrests during the 1971 May Day antiwar demonstrations.

Judge Gerhard Gesell dismissed Chapin's petition as "an affront to the jury system." Another criminal expert, Stanford Law Professor John Kaplan, takes a somewhat different stance. The Watergate defendants might very well not "get as fair a trial as if they were black and Democratic. But so what? A fair...
...bishop on Reformation Day. Next to go was the assistant pastor at Würzburg's Deutschhaus church, the Rev. Karl-Heinz Tillmann, 39, married and the father of three. But the final and most embarrassing blow came last month with the resignation of the Rev. Gerhard Betzner, the popular pastor of the church at Neuendettelsau, a stronghold of Bavarian Lutheranism...
