...Bull. Garrison also filed charges of perjury against Dean Andrews, the Runyonesque little lawyer who once claimed to have talked to a mysterious "Clay Bertrand" about defending Oswald. The D.A.'s accusation is somewhat stronger in Andrews' case-since he has told three official panels as many different tales, including one version (at Shaw's trial) calling the whole thing "bull." Garrison also charged a member of his own staff, a 32-year-old former school teacher named Tom Bethell, with surreptitiously slipping the defense a copy of the prosecution's trial plan. In fact...
Nick Clark as Ma Marion and Jack Olive as Junior are in beautiful control of their parts and complement Patterson's sometimes undirected energy. Clark wields a strong umbrella, an even stronger arched eyebrow, struts and talks his castrating role for all its raucous humor. Olive, who doesn't have much of a singing voice, is almost obscenely comfortable on a stage, engaging and convincing as he puts across the show's only ballad. Randy Parry (Belle Bottom) develops the indifferent drunken daughter's part well, but is overshadowed by the sensational obscene clowning of Ed Strong and Randy Guffey...
...British pound rose to a six-month high of more than $2.39, lifted by the news that Britain's perennial trade deficit narrowed to practically nothing in January.

...York Telephone is waging what one official describes as "constant guerrilla warfare" to outguess the vandals and thieves. The company has begun to introduce stronger coin boxes and armored cables on pay phones. To reduce privacy, some telephone booths are gradually being replaced by open telephone stands in high-risk areas. Last month the company started sending out a "flying squad," whose 102 members patrol by foot, motor scooter, truck and station wagon to track down out-of-order coin phones. It used to take an average of four days to spot a broken phone; now the company claims that...
Implicitly they are pressured py peers who go to the local college, and by the feeling, probably stronger in rural areas, that they should stay close to their family. More explicitly, the teachers, and more specifically the high school counselors, usually urge that the student stay in the area. I saw cases where this was done when the counselor simply didn't send in the recommendations of students applying to out-of-state colleges, or else warned the parents about the dangers of leaving home too soon, providing college bulletins and applications only from in-state colleges. After several...
