CORNERBACKS. Tim Anderson, Ohio State, 6 ft., 194 lbs.; and Clarence Scott, Kansas State, 6 ft. 1 in., 180 lbs. Anderson, says a recruiter, has "that battling temperament to stay with his man no matter what." Speedier than many of the receivers he covers, he figures to be a pro starter in his rookie season. Scott's career statistics at Kansas State tell all: 121 tackles, 67 assists, 3 fumble recoveries, 25 passes broken up and 12 interceptions. As one pro recruiter puts it: "He knows how to get where he's going before the ball does...
...estimated $40 million plane to maintain its world leadership in commercial aircraft sales (now 85% of the world market). They fear that the British-French version, the Concorde, or the Russians' TU-144, will take over the supersonic field if the U.S. withdraws, and insist that increasingly speedier planes are a technologically inevitable advance in a world committed to going faster and faster ever since the wheel...
...recidivist crime, critics charge, would surely result in denial of bail to some innocent suspects, and to others who would not commit further crimes. Moreover, detention hearings might jam the courts still further. Repeater crimes could be cut more fairly, the opposition argues, by surveillance of bailed suspects and speedier trials.

...standards and threatened to worsen court congestion. In New York City's criminal courts, there is now a backlog of about 500,000 cases. The backlog would be even worse if a unique statute did not forbid jury trials in these courts. Instead, such cases are tried by speedier single judges or, if the defendant wishes, by three-judge panels. Robert Baldwin, charged with "jostling" (pickpocketing), was convicted by a single judge and sentenced to one year in prison. He appealed, relying on a two-year-old Supreme Court ruling that...
Canada's Donato Paduano, the ninth-ranked welterweight, was more realistic about his ten-round bout with Marcel Jr. "I am fighting the son, not the father." That was immediately apparent at the opening bell. Slighter and speedier than his father, Marcel Jr. showed himself to be a crisp, stylish counterpuncher. Busily bobbing under Paduano's strong jabs, he repeatedly beat the Canadian to the punch in the early rounds. Paduano and the crowd of 10,767 soon realized, though, that the son had none of the raw, put-away power of the father. Though slowed...
