...future draft choices, he picked up Fullback Cookie Gilchrist, whose off-field antics got him in trouble with both the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos - although he led the A.F.L. in rushing (with 1,096 yds.) in 1963. For the waiver price of $100, Wilson obtained 270-lb. Earl Faison, a four-time all-A.F.L. defensive end who had played out his option with the San Diego Chargers. For a passer, all Coach Wilson had to do was dicker across the breakfast table. When the Dolphins played Denver two weeks ago, their quarterback had never even started a college...
With his father's blessings, Adlai launched his political career in 1964. He was first in the state-wide election for the Illinois House of Representatives (the runner-up was ironically Earl Eisenhower). In the House he was part of a small clique of liberal Democrats that sponsored a package of sorely needed reform legislation.

...give a fine, festive survey of their art. The course starts with Contrary Motion, played by Willie "The Lion" Smith, professor emeritus of the bouncing left-hand "stride" piano, which Duke Ellington gracefully imitates in his impressionistic Second Portrait of the Lion.

To restore electronic enforcement, Faircloth urged the state legislature to legalize such information by classifying it as prima-facie evidence. If the legislature agrees, Florida courts will be able to accept the evidence as conclusive whenever the defendant fails to rebut...
Hardly Going In the not-so-distant past, the Supreme Court hewed to precedent and generally rebuffed all but the most monumental constitutional questions. But ever since Earl Warren became Chief Justice in 1953, a new "activist" court has thrown open its judicial windows to practically every ill and issue of U.S. life. In the face of what it regards as legislative inaction, the "Warren court" has desegregated schools, revolutionized criminal justice, rewritten the U.S. political system by plunging into the thicket of legislative reapportionment. To expand the long reach of the Constitution, it has imposed almost...
