...medical examiner has no judicial power; the coroner does. The coroner, who in many parts of the country is an elected official, can, after he has investigated a case, select a jury, call witnesses, and advise the jury on its verdict as to the manner of death. Furthermore, in some areas the coroner is not required to be a physician, and undertakers have, on occasion, assumed the position. A medical examiner, on the other hand, must be a doctor, and has no independent authorities. He can only report his findings to the district attorney...
...ranking strikes at the very foundations of the educational system which the 2-S was designed to protect. Selective Service, in an attempt to modify the harsher aspects of the 2-S, has turned the task of helping to select draftable students over to the professors.

Acting with unprecedented speed, the Supreme Court, even before it received formal notice of the appeal, set Nov. 30 as the date to hear arguments...
...Fourth Vow. One issue that Paul seemed to have in mind was a proposal that the Society of Jesus play down somewhat the privileged status of the select "professed" priests, who are allowed to take a fourth vow of special obedience to the Pope in addition to the normal vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. Under the old rules, only professed priests were eligible to reach executive office in the Society; one change made by the congregation was to give membership on the advisory councils of the provinces to nonprofessed priests and lay brothers...
...meetings took on a new character once the executive committee assumed the right to select plays. The membership-at-large still elected its own officers -- a president and two secretaries -- but these were, until recently, figurehead posts; the presidency was almost a consolation prize for not getting onto the executive committee. Regular meetings were devoted to electing officers, talking about the Coke machine, and arguing policy questions on which the executive committee had the real control...
