Illinois has an antiplagiarism statute on the books, but so far it has not caused much ghostwriters' cramp. Term-paper mills claim they are opposed to plagiarism. They are, they say, merely providing "research material." Just last week an organization calling itself Authors Research Services Inc. placed an ad in the IIlini at the University of Illinois' Chicago Circle campus. It proclaimed: "Research papers-thousands on file available for inspection in our office. Read first, then...
...Nation editors, writers and reporter-researchers at the convention, and for the magazine's 13 correspondents and ten photographers present, the event became a pageant of sleepless nights and hectic days, hot rumors and cold coffee, convention-floor traffic jams, tired feet and writer's cramp.

Although Weston admitted that he didn't think he would finish at Heartbreak Hill, the Government major said he realized he "had to finish. The two last things I wanted to do in Boston were...
...psyche yourself up to be mean, while for a marathon you have to be in the right frame of mind to stand pain, not give it out." This proved to be an unfortunate prophesy, since the inexperienced runner drank too much water during the race, causing his stomach to cramp. McLeod was ahead of his desired pace at 13 miles, he said, but "by 17 miles my stomach was hurting so much I just wanted to stop and get a ride back...
