...lawyers for President Richard Nixon, headed by University of Texas Professor Charles Alan Wright; on the other, the special Watergate prosecutor, Harvard Law Professor Archibald Cox, and three assistants. For 20 minutes they sat waiting in their blue leather chairs. Wright adjusted his tweed vest. Cox toyed with his half-moon spectacles. Finally, at 10, to the bailiff's ceremonial cry of "God save the United States of America and this honorable court," Judge John J. Sirica strode in, sat down in his red leather chair, and called on Wright to step to the lectern in front...
...what a view!" exclaimed Owen Garriott as he gazed down on the earth. Looking out into space, Jack Lousma was equally impressed: "There's nothing except a bit of light reflecting off the solar panels, a few stars and a half-moon." Both astronauts were outside Skylab, finally taking their long-postponed space walk. From inside the spaceship, Skylab Commander Al Bean sounded envious.

In the Colgate contest, Murray sen' a "snake killer" at shoe lace level blazing into the linesmen on the side, knocking two of them down, and sending Cornell's newly acquired orange half-moon downs markers back to Harvard for repair. That gem went for five yards. But, perhaps Murray's most celebrated kick came on a field goal attempt against Penn last week. In three games, he has his on one field goal in five attempts. The one success coming...
