...days later, Chief Justice Earl Warren, addressing the American Law Institute in Washington, offered an indirect defense. Said he: "We have every reason to believe that at the last session of this term we will be able to say, as the court has said every year since 1928, when it acquired the certiorari* jurisdiction, that all cases ready for argument have been heard and decided."

His awesomely exact conclusion: "One in every 544 adult women in Metropolitan London is a harlot." Then dignity-packed Earl Howe, 75, felt compelled to report upon some involuntary research...
...quiet town of Emporia, Kans. (pop. 15,000) have been startled by a bobbing light at the bottom of their gardens, and a voice out of the darkness crying: "Ah, there's one." But they have gradually got used to it. The voice is only Dr. Earl Segal, assistant professor at Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, turning over stones in search of slugs. A huge (6 ft. 3 in., 200 lbs.), craggy man with a mop of unruly black hair, Dr. Segal, 35, has a passion for Limax flavus, a fine slimy creature that may stretch...
