A Roman Catholic law professor at Fordham University, Robert Byrn, a bachelor, had himself declared the legal guardian of all unborn fetuses whose mothers were awaiting abortions in municipal hospitals in New York. He sought to halt abortions only in public hospitals. Byrn won in the first court round, but abortions continued while the state appealed the decision.

So do the three law suits he is involved in right now for having made himself generally obnoxious, the worst offence being at the Canadian National Exposition when he arrived three...

Helen O'Connell's vocal shows much improvement, being more like Mildred Bailey, but is still too stiff. Listen to Bobby Byrn backing Helen's vocal, and figure out whether he plays trombone or trumpet...
