...coverage has extended from the marble halls to lesser courts and tribunals, has been almost as diverse as the law itself. It has ranged from the constitutionality of state anti-obscenity laws to a Maryland decision that cows had a perfect right to walk in the road in Antietam Furnace; from the right to counsel to the right of self-defense ("Are Hatpins Enough?"); from women lawyers to law-school journals to a juridical celebration of Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. Such variety, and the thorough analytic effort that goes with it, has won generous applause from the legal profession...
...sight of Farmer Austin Stottlemyer's 50 handsome Holstein cows moseying down the main street of Antietam Furnace might have seemed properly bucolic to a casual visitor. But not to the natives of the little (pop. 51) Maryland village. Stottlemyer was careful to obey the state law-one farm hand walked in front of the herd and one behind-but the villagers complained that the cows obstructed traffic, trampled flower beds, and left a trail of manure that was not only tracked into houses but sometimes caused children to slip and fall perilously close to passing cars.

...this climate. President Kennedy had a most pleasant week. He and Jackie toured Maryland's Antietam battlefield (his guide dutifully allowed as how the President was quite an expert on the bloodiest day of the Civil War).

Meagher's famed Irish Brigade of New York, served the brigade as it fought heroically at Fair Oaks, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness and Spottsylvania. The Gettysburg statue is a duplicate of the one at Notre Dame, where he returned after the war and served two terms (1866-72 and 1877-81) as president...
...short hoist from sea to helicopter was not without its danger. Earlier in the week, two Navy free balloonists, Commander Malcolm Ross and Lieut. Commander Victor Prather Jr., made a record flight (21.5 mi.) off the U.S.S. Antietam in the Gulf of Mexico, were picked up by a helicopter shortly after their gondola landed in the water. Commander Ross rode a horsecollar sling to safety. Commander Prather, a Navy medical officer on his third balloon ascent, fell from the sling as he was rising to ward the hovering chopper. Dragged under by the weight of his pressure suit, he died...
