Many Americans suspect that they are descended from European royalty and often hire genealogists to prove it. By the same token, many Europeans are convinced that they have a relative who emigrated to America and became a millionaire. A few are right. The rest provide employment for lawyers, archivists and private detectives-especially in France, where the search for several legacies has gone on for generations. None of them is more fabulous than that of Jean-Pierre Mallet, who, so the story goes, died childless in 1818 in Winooski, Vt., leaving behind properties that stretched from the shores of Lake...
...Lamont's over-crowded studying space speaks strongly in favor of H.U.C.'s position. If the facilities are insufficient for the students they now serve, it seems irrational to over-crowd them further. I suspect the shapely advocates of such a step most probably have yet a little of the militant feminist in them, which grows red-eyed at the very thought of a masculine prerogative. The number of libraries in or near the Yard is somewhat impressive and can certainly accommodate all stranded 'Cliffies without the help of Sweat Sock Elysium. Therefore, again, I am sympathetic...
...Essential. In the same pioneering vein, Traynor suggested in 1961 that a suspect is entitled to a lawyer as soon as the police are prepared to charge him.

Perhaps the police had reasonable grounds to believe that Smith's guests were equally suspect-but what about the prosecutor? In court last week, after Smith and his roommate pleaded guilty, his guests finally heard Prosecutor Arthur Morin announce, 45 days after their arrest, that he was dropping the case against them. "There were reasonable grounds for arrest," Morin said, "but not sufficient evidence for a primafacie case. None of the stuff was exposed so you could impute knowledge to the defendants...
...have little in common with Burkitt's lymphoma, a cancer of the jaw that is prevalent among children in tropical Africa. Yet last week top researchers from eleven countries journeyed to Kampala, the capital of Uganda, to pool their knowledge of both diseases. Some temperate-zone doctors suspect that both cancers may be caused by viruses, and they hoped, by studying the tropical lymphoma, to pick up tips on the "blood cancer" they call leukemia...
