A Thoughtful Lawyers New Study
Of Our Civil Liberties and Riohts
ONE MANS FREEDOM. By


Edward Bennett Williams.
(Atheneum, Publishers; $50
Too often, books by lawyers
are exhibitionistic, sometimes
embarrassing, recitals Of
courtroom proves. We read
the clash of wits, the gladia-
torial combat. the parry and
riposte. the searching ques-
ton. the public collapse Of
the witness, the triumph!
The kernel of such a book
is not the law itself. Actual
cases are not included to
illustrate the burning issues of
a free, democratic constitu-
tional system. Rather, they
serve simply as framework on
which skillful advocacy is dis
played.
If the reader wants this
kind Of lawyers book, "One
Mans Freedom" is not for
him. 1t is true that the
Army-McCarth hearings, the
Hoffa bribery trial, the Adam
Clayton Powell income tax
trial, the Costello hearings
and the Melekh spy case ap-
pear in the book, but they
appear briefly and for a spe-
cial purpose.
A Thoughtful Study
Our distinguished fellow
townsman is not advertising
his skill in the courtroom.
This book is a quiet. thought
full study of our civil liberties
and civil rights; where are
they today; in which direc-
ton are they moving; what
should be done to preserve
them from further erosion.
This book tells the reader
about congressional investi-
cations and the authors
proposed 10 rules for fair
practice in such hearings. 1t
explains the frightening
things which can be done in
overlapping and electronic
eavesdropping. 1t gives the
reader a powerful defense of
the Fifth Amendment and its
real meaning and purpose. 1t
explains the need for rules
to control misconduct by

YEAR OF TRIAL: KEN
NEDY'S CRUCIAL DE-
CISIONS. BY Helen Full
Ter. (Harcourt. Brace &
World; $5.75)
If someone doesn't blow
the whistle soon on political
journalists. they are going to
burst their lungs sprinting to
keep ahead of history.
A dozen good men burned
themselves out last year get
ting their appraisals Of the
main Kennedy administra-
ton figures into print before
the President called his first
Cabinet meeting.
Another crew exhausted
themselves this spring telling
what a great presidential
candidate George Romney
will be in 964-if he is NOM
mated and elected Governor
of Michigan in 1862. Barry
Goldwater has vet to open
his first headquarters, but al
ready two campaign bio
graphies have been published.
And now rushes in Helen
Fuller, the former managing
editor of THE New Repub-
lic," to tell what the first
year of the New Frontier was
like.
Miss Fuller's is a compe-
tent, if somewhat uncritical,
chronicle of the first IL
months of the Kennedy ad-
ministration. particularly eff
fective in its narrative of the
first session congressional
battles. She gives high marks
to the President and almost
all his chief associates, ex-
cept perhaps Secretary of
Treasury Dillon. who is i'm
paled on seven successive
critical questions at the end
Of the chapter on THE Eco
nomic Challenge"
What it lacks, chiefly, is
the sense of proportion that
is requisite to good history.
Theodore H. White could
write effectively on the 1860
campaign shortly after the
election, because a campaign
has a beginning, a middle
and an end. But the first
year of an administration is
not the end of anything
significant. Too many of the
questions that arise in Miss
Fuller's book are still unre-
solved.
Instead of perspective, she
gives us a variety Of those
anecdotes that are supposed
to offer insights into his
toric momentS-as when the
President-elect looked at the
younger brother he was about
to introduce to the press as
the Attorney General-desig-
nate and said:
Dammit, Bobby. comb
your hair"
There are an irritating
number of errors in the book.
Those who know the high
professional standards Miss
Fuller has set for herself as
a writer and editor can only
share the embarrassment she
must feel at seeing it af-
firmed between hard covers,
for example, that Ernest w.
Mcfarland (who lost his
Senate seat to Barry Gold
water in 1882 was Senate
President and sometimes sat
in for Majority Leader john
son during the Eisenhower
Administration"
Americas astronauts may
be able to Withstand high-G
acceleration forces, but our
political journalists cannot.
1t would be an act of mercy
and prudence for them to
slow down.

The Authors Choice
The author seems to antici-

reviewers will take issue with
his choice of courageous at
torneyS. 1t is true that one
choice-that Of Gov. Altgeld,
who in 1893 pardoned three
men involved in the Hay
market bombing-iS some
what puzzling. Whether or
not Gov. Altgeld's act was
courageous, the considera-
tons applicable to executive
pardons are so different from
those which should govern an
attorney in taking a case,
that the main point of the
book is weakened by the
analogy, Nevertheless, the
selection Of trials is, on the
whole, excellent. and it is
fascinating to watch public
distrust of an attorney deepen

GROWING: AN Autobiogra

GROWING: An AutObiOgra-
ply OF The Years 1904
1911. BY Leonard Woolf.
(Harcourt-Brace & World;
$3.50.
One of life's ironies is the
fact that people who do a
job superlatively well usually
grow bored or disillusioned.
The latter kind Of growth
gives the title to Leonard
Woolf's second autobiogra-
phical volume.
On his own showing at
least, Woolf must have made
a first-rate administrator for
the British in Ceylon. With
out violating the objective
and modest tone he estab-
liShed in Sowing, he tells
us how he improved the eff
ficiency Of the offices he
served in, how he struggled
stubbornly to fight an out
break of rinderpest, and how
he dispensed impartial JUS
tice and once prevented a
serious incident by conven-
ing court before the conflict
ing parties had a chance to
concoct plausible but colored
versions of events.
