...sweeping judicial reform, of the highest regard for civil liberty and human dignity, are passing us by as President Nixon assures a conservative majority. Even the Court's decision outlawing the death penalty--based largely on its inconsistent application--fuels a longing for an Abe Fortas or a Homer Thornberry. As time goes on, reflection on the former's abdication from the Court and the latter's forgotten nomination will become all the more painful. For now, one can only hope that a turnover in November will bring new perspective to Court nominations, should a vacancy occur. And further that...

Later in the week, after the Mets had lost two in a row, Mays batted in the winning run in a 14-inning game...
...scored first on a triple by John Ihlenberg and a sacrifice bunt. They took advantage of Crimson fielding mistakes to score two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings, but after that Mike O'Malley held them scoreless for 8 2/3 innings before Ihlenberg hit a three-run homer in the 16th inning...
