Game scoring honors went to Cornell junior guard Tod Clasky, who hit 10 for 17 and four free throws. Sophomore forward Adolph Johnson (18 points) was next for the Big Red. The 6 ft. 7 in. Silver was the game's leading rebounder, pulling down 12 errant shots...
...shabby doings, Ervin's devotion to law and liberty shone by contrast. His eyebrows dancing up and down like puppets on a string, he made his points sharply and supported them with apt quotations from Shakespeare and the Bible. He sympathized while he remonstrated with the errant public servants, and redemption was always possible. Ervin intended the investigation to educate the American people, and he succeeded. In turn, he became a culture hero, filling lecture halls with adoring audiences, inspiring youngsters to don T shirts bearing his benign image...
...sold more than 2,000 copies at $8.75 each. After 15,000 sets are purchased, Anspach will channel 5% of all profits into a special legal aid fund that he has set up for small companies victimized by conglomerates.

Even after expulsion, a doctor can continue to practice "cut more, make more" surgery until some remote state board lifts his license-if it ever does. In fact, many state boards have not revoked a single license in years...

Writing in Scientific American, he places much of the blame on human greed. U.N. and Peruvian experts had long recommended that the fishing industry take no more than 10 million tons of anchovies a year; that catch would not prevent the fish population from reproducing itself annually. But in 1970 the fishermen caught a record 12 million tons, and almost 11 million in 1971. As a result, Idyll believes, the anchovy stocks are so depleted that they may take years...
