...also acted to protect its emerging case against Dean. Although he has been granted limited immunity by the Ervin committee, Dean can still be prosecuted as long as any indictment is not based on evidence gathered from his committee testimony. Thus Cox last week gave Judge Sirica a two-inch-thick sealed envelope containing evidence against Dean that Justice Department prosecutors had gathered prior to Dean's testimony to the Senate committee. It is to be opened only if Dean claims that he is later being prosecuted because of his public statements. The contents of the envelope presumably would...
That, plus loss of muscle tissue from lack of exercise, causes bodily shrinking. Tape measurements have shown that each man has already lost about an inch and a half in the circumference of his calves. Said Dr. Robert Johnson in Houston: "We expected this, but at a much slower rate." Presumably, such deterioration would become much more serious on longer trips-a two-year flight to Mars, for example...
...full speed, this huge and powerful combination of bone, muscle and glistening red chestnut coat covers just an inch short of 25 ft. in a single stride. He has finished first in 11 of 14 races.

Now, having won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness this spring, Secretariat is an odds-on favorite to run away with the Belmont Stakes this Saturday and earn...
...President had to position himself. The information in his statement [about efforts to set up a special security unit] was about to be disclosed anyway. This whole thing is still coming out inch by inch-with a mile to go. It may be impossible to travel that full mile. The White House public relations mechanism was obviously at work. I know enough about how that White House mechanism operates, and it was all so evident in that last statement. The eternal hope prevails that somehow they won't have to travel that full mile...
...Payne's book has any special value, it is as a sort of two-inch shelf of Hitleriana, including slightly disproportionate swatches of material from August Kubizek, Hitler's youthful friend in Linz, the usual excerpts from Mein Kampf, and a selection of good illustrations, among them some of the drawings done by Adolf the failed artist. Life and Death is overburdened with amateur psychoanalysis-especially vulnerable from a writer who sometimes seems not to have read the important wartime Office of Strategic Services report, part of which was published as The Mind of Adolf Hitler...
