Shaw, who missed the organized practice on Thursday, but worked out by himself ran a strong relaxed race and said that he felt good. "I'm in better shape than last year. I just coasted home." he said...
After a month's hiatus, all of the unanswered questions were due to take shape again this week as the Massachusetts Supreme Court meets to consider whether-and on what ground rules-an inquest will be held into the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Yet the issues of the case have been more psychological and political than legal.

Coke signs and emblems, however, will now be square or at least rectangular; the old circles, diamonds and fish shapes will be banished from the company's advertising.
