Towards seven, the tension worsens, people hollering at the cops to let them in so they won't lose the places they earned by chilly endurance. The Secret Service insists on "sweeping" the entire Common first for hidden evil, a search-and-destroy operation that requires the pinstripe suit. When the guards finally give the word, the spectators dash towards the line of yellow and white barrels separating the notables from those who will sit in the same mud, but farther back...
...vigorous of the Beatles-era British rock groups. His songs for Lindsay Anderson's mock epic of modern England, O Lucky Man (1973), stand as one of the decade's most original film scores. But the spike in his lyrics can be easy to miss: it is hidden neatly between a rich melody and a smooth delivery that owes as much to cabaret as to the Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.

"The problems caused by unfit federal judges, whether from outright corruption, political favoritism or inability due to ill health or senility, amount to a hidden national scandal," testified Clark Mollenhoff, a Pulitzer-prizewinning former Des Moines Register reporter, at a congressional hearing on methods of disciplining judges. (Mollenhoff has been investigating the federal bench for three years.) The only way to remove federal judges now is by impeachment, a cumbersome process. Only four of the nation's federal judges have been tried and convicted by Congress...
