YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.

    WARRIOR BARDS by Kevin McCarthy & Michael E. Tigar A Performance in Six Scenes [Note: This play was originally performed in San Francisco by Kevin McCarthy. It is written for performance by one actor who portrays all five lawyers, using changes of dress, demeanor and style to mark their differences, while preserving the theme that their work is unified. It could be done by a series of actors.] COPYRIGHT (C) 1989 KEVIN MCCARTHY & MICHAEL E. TIGAR ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Warrior Bards, Page 1 [The curtain rises on a stage set with a standup writing desk, a comfortable chair, a lectern, a hall tree, and an easel. On the easel is set a large portrait of Dan O'Connell, in the costume in which we will first see him. The hall tree has hooks to hang coats and hats and a mirror, in order to permit the actor to check his appearance when changing characters. There will also be a low railing to represent a jury rail. Among the props will be a copy of the New York Times for Malone, a copy of a book of judicial decisions, a schoolhouse ruler, and other items.] Scene One [Daniel O'Connell enters, wearing a cloak and shovel hat as depicted in pictures of him. Under the cloak he may have on a barrister's robe, and may then put on a wig. He is large, robust, energetic. He would probably have a habit of running his hands through his hair, which was curled and unruly. He has a gentle, cajoling voice. He may roll his eyes to emphasize a point.] [A lawyer who saw O'Connell (Sheil) describes O'Connell as "five-feet eleven and one- half inches, with a high forehead.

Terence Hallinan was refused certification for admission to practice law in California by the Committee of Bar Examiners upon a finding that he was not of "good moral character."' The Committee's de- termination was based on Hallinan's beliefs and activities in connec- tion with "civil disobedience" and, in particular, several misdemeanor convictions arising from these activities.2 In addition, Hallinan's past record included several fistfights and other conduct which the Com- mittee held indicated a disregard for the law and a propensity for vio- lence.3 The Committee's decision was made after lengthy hearings I "To be certified to the Supreme Court for admission and a license to practice law, a person ... shall: ...

  • The Withering Away of the American Labor Party
    THE WITHERING AWAY OF THE AMERICAN LABOR PARTY BY ALAN WOLFE Assistant Professor of Political Science Douglass College, Rutgers University EW YORK State's American Labor Party (1936-56) existed in a variety of forms: pro-Democratic electoral vehicle (1936), independent third party (1937-44), one of two "third-parties" in the state (1944-47), state branch of the national Progressive Party (1948-52), and ideological interest group with strong pro-communist leanings (1953-56). Most scholarly studies of the party, such as those of Bone, Sarasohn, and Moscow,1 which end in either 1946 or 1948, have treated only the first three forms. Because of this, the last eight years of the American Labor Party remain unexamined. Text-book treatments skip over the 1948-56 period with passing references to communist domination or infiltration.2 This unfortunate lacuna deserves to be filled, and the recent acquisition by the Rutgers University Library of the party's papers for this period provides the wherewithal to do so.3 1948 was a key year in the history of the American Labor Party because of the candidacy of Henry A. Wallace for President. No sooner had the year begun than on January 7, at a meeting of the state executive committee of the party, the ALP split over the ques- tion of endorsing Roosevelt's former Vice-President. Anticipating a strong pro-Wallace move, the state chairman, state treasurer, and 1 Hugh A.

Introduction In his essay, Asking Jurors To Do the Impossible,' Peter Tiersma identifies several ways in which jurors have difficult, if not impossible, roles to play and suggests several steps that courts could take to aid jurors in performing these roles. He offers a number of recommendations, such as having judges instruct jurors in plain and specific language, allowing jurors to ask questions about the instructions, and explaining to jurors the reasons for certain rules.2 His recommendations are sensible, and courts would do well to follow his advice. With the exception of his call for the creation of expert juries in technical cases,3 I agree with his recommendations, though I think there are good reasons to go even further than Tiersma does with several of the reforms he proposes.
