...would likely be based on the U.S. Constitution's interstate commerce clause and could easily cover the vast majority of the nation's banks and private lending agencies, nearly all of which operate interstate. The President will also press for tough federal laws against those who "murder, attack or intimidate" rights workers. He repeated his promise, made in November, to "establish unavoidable requirements for nondiscriminatory jury selection" in the South...
...Babel," and such. The format is funny and the commercials (and their delivery) are for the most part very funny. Near the end of the play, each of the "heroes" reveals himself--Doc is a con man, Billy is a J.D., Wyatt felt it was his calling to murder, and Wild Bill, good ole Wild Bill, is queer.

None of Penn's big men is a superstar, but the Quakers have the necessary height and muscle to complement their great guards. Chuck Fitzgerald (6-4), John Hellings (6-8), and Frank Burgess (6-10) are all averaging less than ten points per game, but they'll murder Harvard under the boards...
