1974

This week I argued a case in front of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This was a new twist for me because it was the government who appealed the decision of the lower court, not me. The government thinks 20 years (not five) without parole is an appropriate sentence for my client who they also accused of being an "incompetent burglar." I wonder what they would have asked for had he been a competent one.

Meg Winthrop reports that a local producer spotted her during a promo for her latest country music album and thinks she will be perfect for one of the national "good morning" news shows. She has great "happy talk" talent, and can sport a blonde wig, no problem. Congratulations, Meg.

Also congratulations to Tom Van Ben-schote, who was promoted to national sales manager for WBAL in Baltimore, Md.
