The police reacted more angrily when the demonstrators sang God Bless America or recited "I pledge allegiance to the flag...
...Bother. "At least 75% of the accidents could have been easily avoided by minuscule foresight," sighs Captain David Oliver of the Coast Guard in Chicago. "Mostly it's just plain stupidity." Seasoned boatmen still shake their heads over the youthful sport who recently went blasting around Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., with a water-skier in tow.

Columbia's white administrators did not bother to consult or even notify Dr. Cordice. They simply announced that two of their brethren were taking over the thoracic and vascular divisions, but Dr. Cordice was told that he could stay on the staff if he chose. He did not so choose. Colleagues claim that he was sacked simply...
