...five-minute trial in a minor Cambridge court awaits William L. Prosser '18, the professor of Law who last week pocketed a five dollar bill of William K. Poindexter 2L in class.

It has been persistently removed, incidentally, that the Attorney-General is interested in becoming Governor in 1952, and that his current bill is a political maneuver. The theory is that a record of good clean anti-communism goes a long way toward winning a Massachusetts election. In this case, it could also...
