Raised in the small (pop. 11,584) North Carolina town of Monroe, where his father was both police and fire chief, Helms retains his country style. His frequent response to an inquiry about how he is doing is "Well enough to take some chicken broth." He stands at 6 ft. 2 in., with a gangly frame that is slightly stoop-shouldered.

Overuse of the Sus law is a frequent complaint, not only in Brixton but elsewhere in the country. Blacks are twice as likely as whites to be arrested under the law, and black community leaders in Brixton claim that harassment rates run far higher than that. In Brixton, moreover, the law appears to have been used more widely...
Defensive standouts for the Crimson were Maureen Finn, who hustled back to defense and worked well in the corners to check the ball attack, and Laurie Gregg, who also turned away Yale efforts to move the ball forward while intercepting frequent Yale passes...
