Lonely Dissenter. Critics also charge sloppy legal draftsmanship in many decisions that have not so much outraged as confused. The Justices, notes Yale Scholar Alexander Bickel, have yet to come up with a workable definition of obscenity.

"After Escobedo," he quips, "you need Miranda, and after Miranda, we will need maybe twelve more decisions...
Tomorrow Crimson southpaw Jim McCandlish will try to send Penn to its fourth defeat in five League games, also at Splinter Stadium. The Quakers upset Yale a week ago behind junior right hander Ed Bickel but they have done little else, while posting a less than awesome 2-6 overall record...

England's James Stewart, eclipsed by Hollywood's James Stewart, changed his name to Stewart Granger. Frederick Bickel-rhymes with pickle-changed his name to Fredric March. Frederick Austerlitz was just too hobnailed a surname to weight the light soles of Fred Astaire. Gary Grant, of course, would have been unstoppable with any name from Pinky Fauntleroy to Adolf Hitler-even, for that matter, with his own name...
