...nobody was much surprised when several years ago WBAI was accused of "subversion" by the Senate equivalent of HUAC; those who knew were more likely to be flattered. But almost all of the station's latest attackers would be proud to call themselves "liberals," and would even more proudly defend freedom of speech...
Doug Hardin will defend his title in the two-mile against Yale's Frank Shorter and Princeton's Eamon Downey. They are the only other entrants who have broken the nine-minute barrier this season. Hardin has never lost to either of them on the track and holds an important psychological edge.

Some felons, say the authorities, rob a second time in order to pay a lawyer to defend them on the first charge. Others, believing that they will get concurrent sentences anyway (meaning that they can serve both sentences at the same time), figure that they have nothing to lose from another burglary...
