...actual effects of recent Supreme Court rulings on crime and police procedures are hard to measure. "Criminal laws," says Yale Law Professor Alexander Bickel, "are blunt, primitive tools of social control. The real trouble is that criminal law doesn't fit what you are trying to do." Narcotics and gambling, Bickel points out, are both primarily social problems for which the law has no real cure. Clearly, police must have effective powers to curb these offenses, as well as more serious crimes. The question that has never been fully answered in the U.S. is what the extent of those...
...Chwatt to Red Buttons, Zelma Hedrick to Kathryn Grayson, Eunice Quedens to Eve Arden, Natasha Gurdin to Natalie Wood, Barney Zanville to Dane Clark, and William Beedle to William Holden.

The shape has changed too. Only White Sox Second Baseman Nellie Fox still uses a thickhandled bat; the rest prefer a slim handle. H. & B. keeps an index of the types...
...synthesis was announced in the current Journal of the American Chemical Society, only a year following the discovery of the drug's structure. Research was completed by Woodward; three Swiss chemists, F.E. Bader, H. Bickel, and A.J. Frey: and a Canadian, R. W. Kierstead...
