...talk him out of marriage. "I submit my happiness to you," he wrote Bute, "who are the best of friends, whose friendship I value if possible above my love for the most charming of her sex." When Bute said no, George and his advisers agreed on Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, sight unseen...
...inseparability of the prosecution's argument from the gut issue of abortion was highlighted by the testimony of William Mecklenburg a Minneapolis obstetrician associated with the right-to-life movement. Mecklenburg attacked Edelin for what he called bad medical practice in the hysterotomy operation because the procedure is "extremely dangerous" to the unborn child.

Few have moved farther or faster than Mobile, Ala., which for years fought desegregation hard, appealing federal court orders no fewer than eleven times. At the time of the Supreme Court order upholding busing in the school district of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., the court made it clear that it wanted Mobile to integrate without further delay. School Board President Charles McNeil finally decided that "the people were tired of going to court all the time." In numerous meetings with 22 civic groups, he and School Superintendent Harold Collins worked...
