...investigation of the Secret Service (see story page 15). Democratic Senator Joseph Montoya, whose Senate subcommittee oversees the elite protective agency, has summoned Secret Service Director H. Stuart Knight to public hearings this week. Montoya wants to know why Moore was not at least followed after being interviewed by Secret Service agents on the night before she shot at Ford. A San Francisco police officer, Inspector Jack O'Shea, had repeatedly warned the Secret Service that Moore "could be another Squeaky" and had ordered one gun taken from her. She promptly bought another. Montoya will also ask why neither Fromme...
...Charles Dunn, Master of Quincy House and professor of Celtic Literature, will preside over the exorcism of Quincy House demons in a procedure that has been repeated on the first Sunday of the year ever since he became master. This year the ceremony was delayed a week because the Stuart Pipe Band, with perhaps the most enthusiastic bagpipe blowers in New England, was occupied last week with the Patriots' game.

The teachers are closer to you here. They explain things more." Ken is taking an elective in chess. Neither had any problems with white classmates on opening day. Said Byron of one white...
Onstage, the boys-Alan and Derek (Longmuir), Les (McKeown), Eric (Faulkner) and Woody (Stuart Wood) -are the ultimate squeaky cleans. They claim not to drink. Only one admits to smoking, and then only cigarettes. At their press conferences, a pitcher of milk is always conspicuous on a table front and center. Their personal promotion describes them as just working-class lads from Edinburgh. That turns out to be true...
