...James F. Neal, 52, chief prosecutor at Watergate conspiracy trial whose closing arguments clinched convictions of Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mardian. With sarcasm, he accused defendants of switching their view of "good John Dean" to "mean John Dean" after Nixon's counsel told the truth. Now practicing law in Nashville.

O'Neal and Rowe battled each other for the lead, but coming around the last turn Row elbowed O'Neal and was disqualified. Neither Sheeham nor Schuler could catch the due and the Crimson pair finished two steps behind...
