NCAA hoop has picked up the slack a bit, now that nobody has any idea of who the best team in the nation really is. San Francisco had its cover blown two weeks in a row when Notre Dame and Nevada-Las Vegas proved that the Dons' schedule is about as formidable as Beaver Country...
...union organizers seeking to crack the Southern textile industry picked as their No. 1 target J.P. Stevens & Co., the nation's second largest textile maker. Their reason: before it moved most of its mills south, Stevens had union contracts in some of its Northern plants, and organizers thought it might be less hostile to unionism than other Dixie employers.

British philosopher Edmund Burke once said that the study of law "renders men acute, inquisitive, dexterous, prompt in attack, ready in defense, full of resources."

Some such figures are already legends-Paul Freund of Harvard, for example, or Philip Kurland of Chicago...

Ministers, now termed imams, are expected to instruct members in the Koran and the Bible. At "temples," renamed "mosques," the seats have been ripped out so that members can prostrate themselves during prayer. Wallace also stresses such traditional "pillars" of observance as the month-long fast of Ramadan, the five daily prayers while facing Mecca, and the Hajj (pilgrimage...
