...control is as much a moral issue as a practical one. We hope very much that steps will be taken towards control of firearms, even if such control is only partial. But we think it is morally inconsistent to argue that rifles are less barbarous than handguns. We look to the day when the public will have no cause to fear either...
Overall, the Crimson maintained a slight 31-26 lead on the boards, a statistic which indicates at least a partial recovery from the generally dismal rebounding performances of the last few games. Besides Carrabino, co-captain Mark Harris also turned in a key performance underneath, crashing the hoop to come up with six rebounds.

The higher-ranking diplomats among the freed hostages will be expected to make their own full analytic reports about their captivity...

After he was felled by a heart attack, he and his physicians chose full medical disclosure, issuing daily bulletins that went so far as to describe presidential bowel movements. Lyndon Johnson was generous with details of his 1965 gall bladder operation...
