...even amidst Friday's favorable statistics lurked the threat of an unbeatable Villanova scoring punch. The Wildcats qualified ten men, and their power was supposed to be in the longer running events, which did not have trials. In addition, their strong sprint contigent of Earl Horner and Marshall Uzzle got a big boost when injuries side-lined the pre-meet favorites. Sam Perry of Fordham and Bob Mattis of Manhattan...
...good indication of their strength comes from the scorecard of last week's Philadelphia Collegiate Championships. Winning Wildcat performances in that meet included Noel Carroll's 1:49.7 880-yard run, Vic Zwolak's 4:08.6 mile, Earl Horner's 0:21.2 220-yard dash, Dick Kurnik's 56' 8 1/2" shot put, and Larry Livers's 0:13.9 high hurdles and 0:52 intermediates...
Holding a Thin Line. Gideon has already freed (after a new trial with a lawyer) Clarence Earl Gideon, the Florida prisoner who started it all with his now famous in forma pauperis petition to the Supreme Court. More than 1,000 other Florida convicts have been released, 600 have won new trials, and hundreds of others are polishing up "Gideon Petitions." Spurring them on is Prisoner 62601, Theodore N. Turner, , 39, Florida's most accomplished jailhouse lawyer, who solemnly states that "Our thin line of civilized living and culture is based on due process of law. If due process...
...heyday, thousands of outsiders flocked to Alabama to get divorced between lunch and cocktails. Alabama acquired-for at least an hour-such famous citizens as baseball's Hank Greenberg, Mrs. Aristotle ("Tina") Onassis and TV's John Daly (so he could marry the daughter of Chief Justice Earl Warren). Some quickie lawyers raked in as much as $200,000 a year. In 1961 the Alabama Bar Association threatened to disbar lawyers knowingly involved in phony quickies. That cut the Alabama divorce rate by almost one-third, but quickie business persisted, notably in the town of Geneva...
...Mark Bramhall, Edmund the bastard son of Gloucester. Bramhall dominates the big Loeb stage and plays a cunning, cold-hearted bastard with wonderful confidence and relish. Standing near Bramhall are Lear's fool, Harry Smith, who seems too bitter, too sharp at first, but who persuades us finally; the Earl of Kent, Yann Weymouth, who acts with welcome restraint amid the general ranting; and Edgar, Richard Backus, who makes a fine fool and a noble Edgar. John Ross as Albany and Thomas Weisbuch as Cornwall both perform well, but they are in demanding company. John Lithgow plays an irregular Gloucester...
