...cancer in its early stages. At the time, he suffered from advanced cancer of the penis and groin, and Judge Brooks wanted to spare women the details of medical testimony that might be "distasteful." Abbott lost his suit, and later died. Now the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati has ruled that the administrator of his estate is entitled to an other trial. A judge may excuse a specific woman juror on the ground that testimony will upset her, said the court. But he violates the 14th Amendment if he sweepingly excludes, on his own initiative, any "well-defined community...

Washington's Frank Howard sent a towering drive over the centerfield fence in the American League's half of the inning. Then the Nationals sent nine men to the plate and scored five runs as San Francisco...
Others are certainly trying. Boston's Carl Yastrzemski and Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew have slammed 28 home runs apiece. In the National League, San Francisco's Willie McCovey and Cincinnati's Lee May also have 28, while Atlanta's durable Hank Aaron has 24, to bring his career total to 534.
