...Your president termed the law school--and justly, I have no doubt--the best in the country. I wonder, does he realize that such a school as Prof. Barker was engendering would make law schools superfluous? For you know, a good playwright is worth more than a good lawyer...
Krakovitch, for example, would know what to make of it. Yet these five athletes have been instrumental in establishing a record for invincibility that has become legendary.

Hackensack scored four points on fouls?the exact margin by which, when Referee Wallum blew his whistle, they found they had won.
