...others, she was merely "a good friend doing a good turn." Indeed, aside from a relatively small chunk of Golden Arrow stock that her husband sold at the bloated price, there was no testimony indicating that the MacMillans enriched themselves from the 1964 transactions. But York County Court Judge Garth Moore pointed out that Viola had called her broker to check on the market price of Golden Arrow after placing her orders-a move that helped convince the judge she had intended to stimulate her company's market price artificially. At the time, noted Moore, the Toronto stock market...
BEAZLE: It was nothing, really. We medical men have been confounding patients for years. As far back as 1699, the physician and poet Samuel Garth wrote: "The patient's ears remorseless he assails/Murders with jargon where his medicine fails."

Two other players who helped the Crimson considerably were center Dan Martell, with 13 points, and guard Eric Gustafson, with 12. The margin of victory, though, was not the shooting, but the excellent teamwork the Yardlings displayed throughout the contest...
...oblique, rejection as it became clear that there was nothing but trouble on her mind. The militant matron, whose suit against required school-prayer reading in Baltimore was upheld by the Supreme Court, had arrived to set up an atheist center. She also planned to enroll her son Garth, 8, in a nearby public school in order to sue for the removal of the Roman Catholic nuns who work there as teachers. The first night in town, her car developed four flat tires. The weekly paper ran a spirited roundup of unflattering comment from unidentified citizens. And the school board...
