...Amato's campaign has been marked by frequent accounts of his participation in the pattern of legal graft, wasteful patronage and sweetheart deals characteristic of Hempstead Town government. Already implicated in a kick-back scheme that required town employees to contribute 1 per cent of their salaries to the Republican Party to keep their jobs, D'Amato is currently being investigated for having allowed millions of taxpayer dollars to remain in interest-free accounts at a bank that later loaned him $100,000 in campaign funds. A grand jury has also questioned him about his role in transferring a cable...
Although the causes of death vary from strangulation to stabbing and bludgeoning, the series of abductions and killings may well be part of some bizarre and mysterious pattern. All but two of the victims were males who were relatively small, generally wore their hair short, and looked younger than their age.

There is speculation that the boys were well cared for by their abductor, because some of them had apparently been washed shortly before they were murdered. Such tenuous theories are all that anybody...

Brown quarterback Larry Carbone went back to pass on second down and look for flanker Mitch Metz on a short down-and-out pattern at the Brown 27.

...tight end Steve Jordan on a 26-yd. sideline pattern for a first down at the Harvard 11. The drive stalled and Granfors came in for a 28-yd. field goal attempt. His line drive kick banged flush into the crossbar, bounced straight up in the air, and landed directly in front. No good...
Even though the terms of an earlier agreement between the U.S. and Chilean governments required the Department of Justice to restrict the admission of such evidence, a trial might nevertheless have revealed that Letelier's assassination fit into a larger pattern of regime-sponsored attacks against leading exile figures exporting terror. It might have revealed that in September 1974 the Chilean secret policy struck against Gen. Carlos Prats, the leading constitutionalist military figure in exile. Gen. Prats' appeal within the Chilean military cannot be gauged. However, constitutionalism had worried the junta enough for it to stage anti-constitutionalist show trials...
