...dorms are coed, Associate Dean Jean Janis explains why: "The more responsibility you give students, the more they are able to assume." The trend disturbs some parents, especially those with daughters. Yet most school officials maintain that coeducational living does not lead to increased sexual activity. According to Stanford Psychologist Joseph Katz, an incest taboo develops in coed dorms as a result of a brother-sister relationship between the residents...

Defense testimony by two psychiatrists and six psychologists was often obscure, at times conflicting-and never convincing to 'the jury. When the defense pressed its experts for judgments on Sirhan's sanity, the imprecision of the science became obvious. Each psychologist and psychiatrist seemed to have a slightly different theory about Sirhan's mental state. "All those psychiatrists-they really had us all stirred up," said Albert N. Frederico, a plumber. "It was confusing. It stunk...
