Police are waiting to interview a young Athens professor who is recovering from injuries caused last month by the explosion of a bomb that he was assembling. In his cellar, the police found twelve plastiques. The 13th was the unlucky...
...years for merely trying. In Indianapolis, simply entering the motel room of a person of the opposite sex (subject to a number of exceptions for relatives, young children and others) is punishable by a fine of up to $25 and as many as 30 days in prison...
