Just how trying a dilemma the Helms case presented to Atty. Gen. Griffin B. Bell and company became apparent last week. Justice clumsily announced that the department had seen fit to work out a very special deal with the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Galbraith, comfortably enconsced in his Gstaad chalet, doesn't fit; this mold either...
...Saturday is a completely different story. There are so many things happening that I won't be able to fit them all into my radio (sic). In the morning, at about 10, you'll be able to catch rugby action at its best. On this particular morning, on this particular Saturday, on this particular Soldiers Field, on this particular planet, on this particular page, Harvard will be playing McGill. That's a school in Canada. The McGillicuddies will be fully equipped for the match, wearing their favorite shoulder pads, hip pads, helmets and skates. And they'll be trying...
