Foremost on the list of subjects is Spiro Agnew, who would still be in prison were it not for plea-bargainers in the Justice Department like Elliot Richardson.

At last month's U.S. swim trials at Long Beach, Naber, a senior at U.S.C., toppled by 1.23 sec. the 200-meter backstroke world record of 2:01.87, held since 1973 by-that's right-Roland Matthes.
