Kennedy's investigators were full of such tricks. Once they interviewed an Army corporal who passed on idle chitchat from a girl he met at a dance. She was maid for a woman employed by the Teamsters; under the woman's bed was a stack of their records. Anxious to inspect any Teamster file, Kennedy got the corporal to continue dating the maid (although the soldier complained that she was no bargain), arranged to have a staff member accompany them and the maid's girl friend on a double date.

For an ordinary night at the opera, the Met is tough to beat...
...varsity met the first team of approximately its own caliber when defeated Duke 7 to 2 and 8 to 1, and this match provided the outstanding individual performance of the trip. After Dale Junta had bowed to Duke's Lief Beck, 6-2, 4-6, 8-6, in the first day's play, Steve Gottlieb took over the top position to completely out manuever Beck for a handy 6-1, 6-2 win the following...
