...time with friends, read philosophy and pursue the charmingly ingenuous notion that he is "alive, sensing, part of the universe." He says: "I could work myself into the grave with my music and the piano, not really learning what life is all about. And I think this is the crux of the change in young people today. They don't want material, they want experience." If music will help, Hollander will provide...
Exposing Skepticism. Cooper asked other panel members whether they had heard of a legal argument called "diminished responsibility," which will obviously be the crux of Sirhan's defense. The argument is an old one. But California is one of only a dozen or so states that permit a lawyer to try to prove diminished responsibility by presenting psychiatric evidence. Cooper's claim would not be that Sirhan was insane at the time of the shooting. Rather, as Cooper indicated, the defense would try to prove that because of mental or emotional illness, Sirhan lacked the malice or "specific...
...engaged in what looks to impatient outsiders like puerile bickering over seating arrangements and furniture design. Nonetheless, the Saigon regime has an immensely important point to make in all the wrangling: that it should not recognize the Viet Cong as an equal, which for the South Vietnamese is the crux of the talks. Unremitting delay is also likely to be the Communists' tactic while they attempt to get the measure of their opponents.

If the key question was student participation in Faculty meetings, why was this question not raised with the SFAC which was created precisely to study and recommend on such matters? Why were student...
Though the alleged confession is fancifully made the dramatic crux of The Great White Hope, there has never been any evidence to substantiate it. Indeed, a film of the match discovered just two years ago proves Willard's oft-repeated claim that he "beat him fair and square." Excerpts of the film, in a recently released feature on early fighters called The Legendary Champions, shows Willard dispatching the wilting, 37-year-old Johnson with a crunching overhand right that would have knocked out any heavyweight who ever lived...
