...realized Dartmouth takes this whole thing a lot more seriously than we do. Harvard students like to beat Brown because Brown thinks it's as good, Princeton because Princeton acts like it's better, and Yale because that snotty kid down the street who always had scotch tape holding his big, black glasses together and built go-carts out of lego in third grade goes there. And only for Yale--if then--does Harvard go bonkers...
...require that Hinckley's lawyers-members of the high-powered Washington firm of Williams and Connolly, home of Superlawyer Edward Bennett Williams-introduce as evidence every token of his preoccupation with Foster. A new addition to that curious lore surfaced last week, when authorities leaked a transcript of tape recordings, made by Hinckley last winter, of two telephone conversations he had with Foster.

Moore claims that in 28 years of business, he arranged, on the average, more than one bribe every working...

There is no evidence that the President's men actually conscripted Teamsters to bloody the heads of demonstrators. But the tape confirms for the first time that Nixon knew about the political sabotage campaign conducted by White House Henchman Donald Segretti 18 months before the hotly contested 1972 election, a charge Nixon has repeatedly denied. As Haldeman tells his boss: "This kind of guy can really get out and tear things up." Segretti was imprisoned in 1973 for conspiracy and distributing false campaign material...
