...pleasant Sunday afternoon aboard H.M.S. Beagle, outward bound from Plymouth in 1831 on a scientific voyage around the world, Robert FitzRoy, her captain, would entertain his officers with readings from the Bible. A painting of such an event is one of the illustrations in Alan Moorehead's book. Depicted as a drab civilian among the scarlet naval persons present, the ship's naturalist, Charles Darwin, also clutches a Bible. The Beagle's Bibles contained an annotation dictated by the Anglican Archbishop Ussher, firmly stating that the Creation began promptly at 9 a.m., Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. After...
...when attending high school in Maine some years ago. I am sorry I didn't have as sage an English teacher as Mr. Marino, and Telstar High should regret that it will not have his services any more. (Marino, born in Springfield, N. J., taught high-school English in Plymouth.

...only completely redesigned full-sized car is the Lincoln, which, among other things, now has a body bolted to the frame for a quieter ride. Several cars have more powerful engines; the biggest of all is the Cadillac Eldorado's, at 500 cu. in.

...charming, even though some questioned his legal talents. As U.S. Attorney, he had the distinction of convicting Raymond Patriarca, a New England Cosa Nostra boss, on two counts of conspiracy to murder. Yet he was blamed for allowing four defendants to escape punishment for the $ 1,551,277 Plymouth mail robbery. The Kennedy disaster was a hard blow professionally, since it was only last May that Markham resigned as U.S. Attorney to join a private law firm in Boston. Now his legal reputation is at least diminished...
...legal cause of death is considered. Yet last week, Mary Jo's parents, while agreeing that an inquest might be helpful, bitterly opposed an autopsy. Said Mrs. Joseph Kopechne: "No one is going to disturb my baby." Since Mary Jo is now buried near her home town of Plymouth, Pa., Dinis will have to persuade the Dukes County District Court to request the Luzerne County, Pa., court to order exhumation and an autopsy. By Pennsylvania law, autopsies can be performed, even against the wishes of "near relatives," if there is suspicion of a serious crime...
