Said Prio: "I decided to change my defense from 'not guilty' to nolo contendere because I thought that in my position it was more dignified to do so." Defending Prio, Manhattan Lawyer Samuel I.

...Packed so tightly that they were unable to kneel, an estimated 150,000 worshipers jammed Chicago's Soldier Field for a Marian Year Mass celebrated by Samuel Cardinal Stritch.

Historian Benjamin Shambaugh helped make the entire state history-conscious; Paleontologist Samuel Calvin became the ranking U.S. authority on the Pleistocene age of North America; bearded Thomas H.
