...Boston trial is expected to drag on for several weeks, despite 85-year-old Judge Francis J. W. Ford's warnings to "get on with it." In another draft-related case, a Baltimore district court last week sentenced two pacifists to six years in federal prison and a third to three years for pouring duck blood on draft-board records. One of those sentenced to a six-year stretch was the Rev. Philip F. Berrigan, 44, a Roman Catholic priest...
...presidential choice. The reason is clear: during pre-election months, the volatile voters' sentiments seesaw along with news events and the candidates' pronouncements-which is what campaigns are all about. Party loyalties are also weaker in May than in November. One consequence is that extremist, third-party candidates often run stronger in polls and primaries than in national elections-as may well be the case in 1968 with George Wallace, who has been garnering 11% to 19% of the poll vote...
...pituitary gland and stopped in the temporal lobe of the brain. Another (No. 2) entered below the left eye and came to rest between the carotid artery and the jugular vein. One centimeter's deviation in almost any direction and this bullet could have caused fatal hemorrhaging. A third slug burrowed from the corner of the right eye into the jawbone.

His compositions include the "Unbegun" Symphony, which has only a third and fourth movement. As a concert commentator, he is the leading exponent of the sportscaster style ("The brasses are taking the theme and running ahead! Folks, this piece is definitely going to go into over time!"). His great contribution to musicology is the "discovery" of P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742)?, the last and oddest of Johann Sebastian's 20-odd offspring. As countless...
...Long Island's Nassau County-has always been a track apart. Not that the 63-year-old park is all that venerable; Saratoga is 41 years its senior. True, it is the setting for some of the most prestigious U.S. races, including the Belmont Stakes, traditionally the third gem in the Triple Crown. But what made Belmont really special was that society's horsemen built it to their own specifications. So overwhelming was the track's mood of genteel opulence that it even awed the $2 bettors: Belmont's race crowds have always been remarkably well...
