Some relief may be on the way. Next week, a seven-man committee of judicial experts, appointed by Burger and chaired by Harvard Law Professor Paul Freund, will formally propose that Congress create a new nine-judge court composed of judges chosen on a rotating basis from the U.S. Courts of Appeals. That court would screen all cases now referred to the Supreme Court for review, and determine which were important enough for the high bench to hear.

Weniger was annoyed when five of the teachers took legal steps to recover $10,695 in back pay.

...major inequity has been the seeding of Northeastern. Though the Huskies are unbeaten, their competition has not been the most terrorinspiring. They were losing to MIT with 100 meters to go when the Engineers' seven-man jumped his slide and lost control of his oar, an accident that cost his crew the race. Two weeks ago, Brown was passing Northeastern during the final 500 meters when a wave from a passing launch shook the Bruin shell, causing a partial crab that allowed Northeastern to slip away to a half length victory...
