...they'd get 15 years. I tell you the prisons are full of lifers who wouldn't have got near that much if a lawyer had handled them. I didn't start out to do anything for anybody but myself, but this decision has done a helluva lot of good for those people...
...What a helluva bore," yawned a controller at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center as Astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell monotonously orbited the earth last week.

This should be a helluva football game. Princeton has averaged 33 points per game, and last Saturday racked up four touchdowns against Cornell, which has a tremendous defensive line. Colgate has not yielded a touchdown in four games. On the basis of comparative scores, Princeton has a definite edge; the Tigers whipped Cornell 36 to 27, while the Big Red fought Colgate to a scoreless...
