...that Nixon will look to the lower courts or to the law schools, where he could find distinguished, nonpartisan professors. For Chief Justice, he might elevate someone already on the Supreme Court. Associate Justice Potter Stewart, an Eisenhower appointee, is considered a sound, noncontroversial choice for the spot. Somewhat to the right of center, Stewart has a solid, if not brilliant reputation. The two new openings might be filled by Henry Friendly, a judge on the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals, Harvard's Paul Freund, noted civil libertarian and authority on the Supreme Court, or Warren Burger, formerly...

Yale was 1-2 before it started to jell and won its final three contests to share the title. The Elis worked hard out there Saturday, controlled the ball...
...Frisbees in the air, and as if all this weren't enough the Lampoon has seen fit to trot out yet another Movie Worsts issue which, if not exactly a wretched excess (it's an annual tradition after all) at least qualifies as somewhat gratuitous when seen in any halfway decent cultural or metaphysical perspective...
