When Carter finally announced his choice--Shirley M. Hufstedler--an appelate court judge from California who was well known in legal circles but unfamiliar to educators--everybody was surprised, some were shocked and all were quick to offer an opinion...

No getting around it; the despairing horseplayer must come to grief, because if he doesn't, Sorrowful won't have $10 worth of the live marker, who seems to have no real name and is always referred...
