...Billy Milligan is not, strictly speaking, a crusade for prison reform or compassion for criminals. But Daniel Keyes' psychological narrative has that effect, unmistakably. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews, Keyes paints a terrifying picture of the mental and legal predicament of one William Stanley Milligan, a 22-year-old Ohioan accused of three 1977 rapes on the campus of Ohio State University...
While the President fiddled, a number of his appointees diddled, in a truly baroque spree of systematic stealing. Attorney General Harry Daugherty was perhaps the most clever and rapacious.

Smith granted favors and made promises that only the Attorney General could deliver, kept up to half a million dollars buried in a friend's backyard and walked around wearing a money belt filled with 75 $1,000 bills.

...luxury high-rise apartment building on Chicago's Near North Side, scheduled a sub-basement party for tenants that would begin two hours before Skylab was expected to break up. Radio stations eagerly joined the hoopla. Ohio's WNCI-FM in Columbus offered $98,000 to the first Ohioan bringing in a locally found piece of the Skylab wreckage within 98 hours of impact. In Atlanta, callers could win yellow T shirts bearing a bull's-eye and the words I'M AN OFFICIAL WQXI-AM 79 SKYLAB TARGET...
