ALAN DERSHOWITZ and JEANNE BAKER--Ladies and Gentlemen, the greatest first amendment lawyer in the world and his faithful sidekick. Dershowitz fits every stereotype--He's brilliant ("the youngest professor ever appointed to the Law School Faculty" the appositizers faithfully call him). He overflows with flair (his first involvement with the Deep Throat saga came when he got the phone message that a hearing for an injunction was in progress. Half an hour later, in a borrowed coat and tie, he was Clarence Darrowing his way through the last hundred years of first amendment law in front of a duly...
...Hamill uses to show off Tommy Ryan, a royal lowlife who took his business degree and put it to vicious use. Ryan uses his women--"A man needs sex, has to have his pipes cleaned"--and he uses his friends--saved from a service revolver-death by a giant sidekick, Ryan orders him and his fiancee killed the next day for fear they'll "sing."

Rideau has written articles for national publications and is under contract to write a book upon his release. His sidekick has won tentative acceptance to law school and hopes to be a legal investigator some day. For the time being they will remain jailhouse journalists; both recently lost bids for clemency. Says Rideau: "We are sitting on a mountain of stories...
...Striding beside a quintuple-tiered bank of telephones, affable Pat Robertson, 49, tells his viewers, "For 50? a day you can change the world," while his sidekick Ben Kinchlow hands him reports on the latest contributions. It is fund-raising telethon time on the 700 Club, and by week's end an audience watching 140 TV stations has pledged $10 million in the coming year to keep Robertson's daily "Christian talk show" coming from its Virginia Beach, Va., studios...
