What remained unclear, however, was whether the President's determined support stemmed from loyalty, from resentment at being subjected to criticism (even indirect criticism) from an outright conviction that an old friend and lieutenant was being pilloried, or from a combination of all of these factors...

Furthermore, since many potential witnesses are polygamists, they do not want to come forward and testify in public. Perhaps the greatest hindrance is outright terror.

Starting next January all Blue Cross groups will be required to cast a prosecuting attorney's eye on hospital records to detect abuses and outright fraud.

But rather than die outright or be absorbed by burgeoning Pace University, which had bought the facility for its nearby Westchester campus, homeless Briarcliff proposed a desperate sort of scholastic piggyback. It hoped to share its remaining faculty and students with yet another small, private and financially strapped women's college: Bennett, a two-year junior college with 230 students. Under the tentative plan, Briarcliff would attract many...
