Christopher Bernard Wilder seemed the very model of a modern swinging bachelor. An Australian native, he came to America in 1970 at the age of 24, eventually settled in Boynton Beach, Fla., and soon amassed a small fortune in the construction business. Handsome and well-tailored, he acquired six parcels of Palm Beach County real estate worth nearly $400,000, took ski vacations in chic Vail, Colo., dabbled in photography and raced cars, finishing a respectable 17th in the Miami Grand Prix (prize: $400). A Jacuzzi bubbled outside his bedroom, a speedboat was moored to his private dock...
...them fall. Today, 80% of Americans die in hospitals or nursing homes, generally in the course of receiving some sort of medical treatment. Doctors no longer speak of death by "natural causes." Because physicians have the capacity to extend life, they often feel obliged to use it, observes Dr. Bernard Towers, who helps direct a U.C.L.A. program for the study of medicine, law and human values.

And on this clue alone, Lauren, with the help of a roommate...

In response to my request for access to archival materials at the Law School, Assistant Dean Stephen M. Bernard informed me that no waiver of the 50-year rule would be granted. The reasons? One,"--the task of going through these materials to extract the ones relevant to your request was daunting and would involve my spending an amount of time on this project that I simply...
...declare that the only thing this quintet has in common is Hitchcock's greed. The film maker always had an acute eye for commerce. He worked in an economically reliable genre with the industry's biggest stars. He would agree to dump a longtime collaborator like Composer Bernard Herrmann (who worked on eight Hitchcock films from 1955 to 1964) if the studio applied pressure. And when asked why he withheld these five films from theaters and TV, he replied, "We wanted more money." It was only after his death that his estate struck a deal with Universal Classics...
