A NYC writer observes Sammy’s arraignment:
An uncomfortable-looking SBF pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was seen chewing the corners of his mouth throughout the 30-minute hearing and smearing on lip balm, which he squeezed out of a little black tube.
Last night I was listening to a 1950 Mutual newscast including a parallel observation of Alger Hiss as he received his guilty verdict.
Yes, I saw Mr Hiss. He was very pale and tense. As the judge pronounced the sentence, he raised his chin just a little higher as if to say “I can take it.”
Nuff said.
