...kind of fear does not usually motivate Harvard administrators. And even if it could, there was really no threat. Cambridge police chief Daniel J. Brennan told the City Council that drug traffic in the Square is no worse than it is anywhere else in the City, and that his one-man narcotics squad was sufficient to take care of the problem. The Council voted him a few extra men for the drug squad, anyway, but the Cambridge police's attitude did not appear belligerent toward the University at all.

...historic decision of 1964 (Reyn olds v. Sims), the Supreme Court held that all state legislators must be elected from districts of roughly equal population - thus ensuring equal representation for all voters.

For the fact is that since 1962, when the Supreme Court issued the first of a series of "one-man, one-vote" rulings designed to redraw state legislatures and congressional districts, the effects have been surprisingly salutary...

As a meekling bank teller, Bob finds himself unjustly accused of rifling the tills and takes to the hills with his seven momless moppets and their inevitable mongrel. A fair enough premise for a one-man vehicle, but Hope is almost lost in a cast of characters that includes a slopstick baby sitter (Phyllis Diller) and her detective boy friend (Jonathan Winters), mouthing a script that contains relentless japes about little boys' bladders and big girls' figures...
