Twelve or more hours a day, seven days a week in March and early April, advocates argue and re-argue their cases, votes are called, applicants are disposed of. As an advocate argues, the Dean pencils notes into his seven-inch thick loose-leaf filled with computer forms. In the notebook used by former admissions dean Fred L. Glimp two years ago, there are notes like "Yale son" in a circle, or "soccer" followed by two exclamation points. Next to each name is a red "A" for accept or a blue "R" for reject-or a red "A" crossed...
Thus, for the first time since his black Oldsmobile tumbled off the Dike Bridge on Chappaquiddick seven weeks ago, Kennedy gained a measure of legal control over the case that, in the midst of his own silences and the elaborate speculations of practically everyone else, had been careering toward what he feared would be, in effect, an officially sanctioned trial by rumor...
Also conferring in Cairo last week were seven of the eleven competing Arab guerrilla movements. The guerrillas, however, were even busier along Israel's beleaguered borders-and beyond. In clashes and rocket attacks in the Jordan Valley, on the Syrian heights and near the Lebanese border, twelve Israeli troops and civilians were killed.

...which conducted the study, did not gloss over the harmful side effects of the Pill. The increased risk of blood-clotting disorders in the 8,500,000 U.S. women who use the Pill, it noted, was 4.4 times the normal risk for women who do not, as against the seven-to ninefold risk that has been suggested by British researchers. These disorders have proved fatal to three out of every 100,000 women using the Pill. The doctors warned, once more, that the Pill should be taken only under a doctor's supervision and never by women with circulatory...
...could also get more accurate. Though aggressive reporting is the "Merry-Go-Round" hallmark, the column is only slightly less well known for its sacrifice of fact to fancy when the crusading spirit is upon it. As recently as seven weeks ago, Pearson was caught with his facts in the wastebasket when he charged that President Nixon had tried to dictate a starring role for himself in the Apollo moon-flight ceremonies. Anderson's reconstruction of the tragedy at Chappaquiddick also struck many as more supposition than substance. The columnist wrote that Kennedy at first persuaded his cousin Joseph...
