A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Gordon Caplan, the suspended co-chairman of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, made his first appearance in Boston federal court Wednesday as did other parents alleged to have paid bribes to secure their children's admission into college. Joshua Levy of Ropes & Gray, who represents Caplan, told U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley of the District of Massachusetts that his client waived a preliminary conference.
