Even venerable Memorial Hall has had its share of flames. In 1874a hot pot of melted fat caught fire, filled the kitchens in the hall with smoke, and nearly burned through the wooden floor into the main dining hall upstairs...
...campaign. By Election Day, Nixon will have covered more than 25,000 miles, to make more than 200 speeches in 31 states (not counting revisits). On tour he subsists mostly on tomato soup, milk and hamburgers, drives himself unmercifully 16 to 20 hours a day. The pace has melted fat off his middle and flattened his chipmunky cheeks.

Unfortunately, the yam is still...

The briefs take up some 200 pages, and there is little fat in them. the major argument between petitioners and the Attorney General are on the question of his discretion. His view precludes any review of his decision at ll while the petitioners think otherwise, at least so far as a writ of Mandamus is concerned. The Attorney General considers it his duty to look into the merits of the case before lending his name, while the petitioners would limit him to deciding whether the case was doubtful and whether...
