...Field's, found Bradley ahead into the last week. Field's final report gave Bradley a lead of five points, with Yorty gaining. Muchmore's sampling put Bradley 17 points ahead.

Fred ("Ahmed") Evans, leader of the ambush, has been sentenced to the electric chair for the deaths...

But if they fail to qualify, often because they went to poor high schools, how can the colleges admit them without diluting their own academic standards?
