... to symbolize the darkest torments of the
human mind and soul. A beautiful woman is carried off by evil, a play on the
Beauty and the Beast themes that would become so popular in horror films.

... Bork disagreed with the method
used by Justice Douglas to overturn the conviction of two doctors distributing
information on condoms. Bork felt that Douglas's liberal use of penumbras to
create a zone of privacy was an excessive use of judicial power. Bork feels a

Distorting his name, inventing a seventeen-year-old self-conception, he masked his counterfeit wealth from bootlegging with an image he wore with the help of Dan Cody. He was the man that gave Gatsby the opportunity. After Cody’s death Gatsby “was left with his singularly appropriate education; the vague contour of Jay Gatsby had filled out to the substantiality of a man”, and in this he based his rising.
