Illustration: In federal court, it's the lady with the lamp

When a power failure today interrupted the high-profile corruption trial of two former CVS executives, Journal illustrator Frank Gerardi was on the scene. Despite other high-tech innovations, the federal court in Providence still does not permit cameras in the courtroom. But Gerardi's sketchwork is allowed. Here, he captures the look of frustration on presiding Judge Mary Lisi's face, lit only in part by a small lamp on her bench. It was the same backup light Gerardi used to draw by. The trial is due to resume tomorrow morning -- pending, of course, the return of electricity. As of 4 p.m., a person who answered the phone at the courthouse said power was still out.
