	Probe V7N6: Max Holland Rescues the Warren Commission and the Nation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Holland believes that RFK, to protect the Kennedy name, and his own political future, repeatedly blocked the very avenues of investigation whose sloppy coverage in 1964 is taken as proof today that the Warren Commission got it wrong.
		Holland never lets on that the “process” Katzenbach advocated to “put rumor and speculation to rest” consisted of “making public as soon as possible a complete and thorough FBI report on Oswald and the assassination,” since “the reputation of the Bureau is such that it may do the whole job” of quelling public doubts.
		Holland, however, shouldn’t be faulted for scurrying to Katzenbach’s side--he wasn’t wearing the executive chef’s hat during the pre-cooking of the Kennedy case.

	Henry RICH (1º E. Holland)
		In Mar and Jul 1642 the parliament chose Holland to bear its declarations to the King, but in each case Charles received him with pointed disfavour, by which the Earl ‘was transported from his natural temper and gentleness into passion and animosity against the King and his ministers’.
		During the early part of 1643 Holland was one of the leaders of the peace party in the lords, and in Aug he endeavoured to induce Essex to back the peace propositions with the weight of the army.
		The commons were less easily satisfied than the lords, and obliged the upper house to pass an ordinance disabling the peers who had deserted the parliamentary cause from exercising their legislative powers during the existing parliament without the assent of both houses.

	Earl
		The eldest son of an Earl generally has the courtesy title of Viscount or Lord, younger sons are known as the Honourable [Firstname] [Lastname] and daughters are known as Lady [Firstname] [Lastname] (the most obvious example being Lady Diana Spencer).
		An official defining characteristic of an earl was the receipt of the "third penny" of the revenues of justice of a shire.
		Also, due to the this association of earls and shires, the medieval practice was somewhat loose regarding the precise name used: no confusion could arise by calling someone earl of a shire, earl of the county town of the shire, or earl of some other prominent place in the shire; these were all synomynous.

		Holland is called upon to defend local failure Wilbur Pickett, who is accused of stealing bearer bonds and a priceless antique from Dietrich.
		Holland's relationships with Lucas Smothers, his illegitimate son, and with Temple Carrol, his investigator (whose unrequited love for Holland is incredibly well played out here) are also given room to stretch and grow, with hints of more to come.

	earl
		Thus every earl had an association with some shire, and very often a new creation of an earldom would take place in favor of the county where the new earl already had large estates and local influence.
		Eventually the connection between an earl and a shire disappeared, so that in the present day a number of earldoms take their names from towns, mountains, or simply surnames.
		The eldest son of an Earl generally bears the courtesy title of Viscount or Lord, younger sons are known as the Honourable [Forename] [Surname] and daughters are known as Lady [Forename] [Surname] (Lady Diana Spencer furnishing a well-known example).

		This Earl of Caithness was heavily in debt, and, having received large sums from lain Glas from time to time, he ultimately conveyed to him, in settlement, not only his estates but his titles.
		The second Earl was elected a Scottish representative peer in 1721, though not without protests by some of his fellow peers, who averred that he had no right to the Breadalbane title while his elder brother was still alive.
		It must, therefore, be concluded that the subject of this panegyric was the third Earl, and that the poem was written between 1746 and 1752, while he was still Lord Glenorchy, heir to the Breadalbane peerage and in residence at Taymouth.
