...Admission Office this year employed the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) in Princeton to help cope with the deluge of applications. After a breakdown last Fall which put the selection process four to five weeks-behind schedule, the Admissions Office was able to recover the lost time as the LSDAS system gained efficiency, Leonard said...
...Much Clutter. There is no chance either that the speedway promoters will be able to hype much interest in another dream race-unless they bill it as the Ralph Nader Grand Breakdown. The U.S. cars were not merely routed; they were run into the ground. The field-13 Formula As, 17 Formula Ones-was reduced when Swede Savage's Eagle-Plymouth spun around and crashed into a retaining wall.

Locked up in his own home, forbidden by his guards to have anything but a change of clothing and a few books, he devised his own crossword puzzles, invented games and immersed himself in self-taught yoga. By the end of his 806-day confinement, Grey had also managed to teach himself enough Chinese to read the slogans smeared...
