Swiggart last night declined to comment in any detail on the potential lawsuit, saying only that he had received "more than one" phone call from Harvard students interested in learning more about it. Swiggart said he had not heard from students at any of the other schools...
Parents who thumb through Mondo 2000 will find much here to upset them.

One detective jabbers obsessively about finding the real killer of President Lincoln; another gets crime-solving help from a ghost; a third, a middle-aged divorce, turns into an imbecile when...
