...could corner the prodigious T-shirt market by printing up some witty combination of the Harvard crest and skeletons, roses, and/or Uncle Jerry. As we all know from the overabundance of pencils, underwear and ovenmitts bearing the Harvard insignia at the Coop, the "Veritas" greatly enhances the value and desirabltity of any item.

As chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals, Wachtler headed one of the nation's most influential state courts.

He therefore may have lain down . . . fallen asleep and frozen to death...

Metzger, the white supremacist, told her that separation of the races is important, "and I said, 'Where are you people going, because I sure as hell ain't leaving.' I'm not going to change his mind, but I think as long as we keep a dialogue up, you can see where their hands are. They can't be out in the streets doing the other...
