THE COVER: The ceremony has been consummated, and although the sun is shining, the reception appears to be wet. Artist BEN PRINS has used the New Canaan, Connecticut, Country Club as the backdrop for this June-wedding reception. But he borrowed most of the wedding party and guests from the wedding of Eugene Kincaid and the former Jean Porter. Gene and Jean met at West Virginia Wesleyan College, were "received" at the bride's home in Wilton, Connecticut, presently live in Savannah, Georgia. Now their party's over: The groom works for a bank and the bride is an assistant librarian.

EDWARD BENNETT WILLIARNS, whose three-part series begins on page 21, has attained the status of a legend at the age of forty-two. During the past three years he has lectured at twenty-five American law schools, including Harvard, Yale and Columbia. In setting out to write, Mr. Williams says quite simply, "I wanted to document my conviction that most of the history of civil liberties in this country has been written in the criminal courtrooms." Here you will read about Frank Costello, Adam Clayton Powell, James Hoffa, Bernard Goldfine, Joseph R. McCarthy and Mrs. "Machine Gun" Kelly.

Mr. Williams's clients include "the scorned and the degraded, or the nonconformist and the unorthodox." Why? Mr. Williams quotes Justice Frankfurter's famous sentence, "The safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in cases involving not very nice people."

Mr. Williams was born in Hartford, Connecticut, won a scholarship to Holy Gross College, where he was graduated summa cum Laude in 1941, then went into the Army Air Forces. He studied law at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and stayed on until 1956 to teach criminal law and procedure. He began practice with a "respected law firm" in Washington, later opened his own office to defend those who frequently assayed low in the scale of respectability. He lives outside Washington with his wife and four children.

OTHER BY-LINES. Reading expert Eugene Ehrlich is a stern father: "I have four children, each of whom must read one book a week in order to buy time in front of the television tube. No reading, no watching." . . . Art on art: Associate Editor Art Seidenbaum, our man in Los Angeles, writes about art prodigy Janel Lessing.... Durable wit Corey Ford of Hanover, New Hampshire, has been a member of The Players Club (DURABLE DEN OF WITS) since "the unripe age of twenty-four." Sandy Grady writes a sports column for the Philadelphia Bulletin.... Don A. Schanche is a special- assignments editor in our Washington bureau.... When Louis Paid was a lad, he used to conjure up adventures for one of his favorite school mistresses. Final result: TAKE A CHANCE.... Hollywood's Norman Reilly Raine, author of COFFIN SHIP, has written for many years about the sea and the men who sail upon it. . . . While trumpeting with a school marching band in Gary, Indiana, at age ten, Paul Darcy Boles (SYMPHONY FOR SOLO CORNET) fell down an open manhole "and hardly missed a note of whatever it was we were playing."
