  Edward Bennett Williams: 1920 - 1988
Edward Bennett Williams was a celebrated trial lawyer and influential Washington insider whose clients ranged from the teamsters' leader James R. Hoffa to Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Williams was known to his friends for his personal toughness and resilience, both in his legal career and in the courageous manner in which he fought his illness.
Williams, considered a brilliant ''superlawyer'' who stood as a pillar of the Washington establishment, had no particular political power bloc of his own, but Republicans and Democrats sought his friendship and counsel, and he seemed always to be in good standing with the occupant of the White House Oval Office.

 Governing hobbled by 'dribs and drabs' from N.L. audit: Williams
Williams said Hickey — who repaid the amount Thursday when the issue was brought to his attention — had to step aside while Noseworthy continued his investigation, and stressed that the issue is far different from the cases last year.
However, Williams expressed a concern that Noseworthy — who is currently researching how constituency allowances were used by dozens of politicians dating back to 1989 — may continue to release information on politicians in a series of reports.
Opposition leader Gerry Reid said he does not have sympathy for Williams's concerns, and that the auditor general's investigation is proceeding as it should.

 Leaders sign conduct code - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
PRIME Minister P J Patterson and Opposition Leader Edward Seaga yesterday signed a political code of conduct that pledged their parties to a rejection of violence and intimidation as political strategies and, at the same time, formally endorsed a policy document committing them to new multi-sectoral initiatives to combat crime in Jamaica.
Both leaders, however, agreed on the need for a national involvement to fight the broader issue of crime and violence in Jamaica where over 1,000 people were murdered last year and another 400, including six policemen, have been killed so far this year.
A critical observation of the strategy, produced by a seven-member committee of political, private sector and civil society representatives and unveiled earlier this year, was the need to address what was seen as an over-centralisation of power and authority that left communities without the capacity to solve their own problems or to settle disputes.

Williams put the clamps on Francisco Garcia in the semifinal, limiting Louisville's top scorer to 4 points on 2-for-10 shooting, and by dishing out nine of Illinois's 21 assists, giving him a tournament-leading 43 assists in five games, nine more than North Carolina's junior guard Raymond Felton (34 in five games).
