...three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, where a battery of civil rights lawyers attempted to invoke an 1866 Reconstruction statute empowering federal courts to appoint special U.S. commissioners to police areas where citizens are being denied their rights. Judge Mize had thrown the case out of his court last July, and the lawyers were appealing...
...country last year when he had Don Trull to do the throwing, Elkins was less effective this season, but the pros think he will shine again. In Snow, scouts think they have another like Baltimore's Ray Berry: "He can catch the ball, even a badly thrown ball, has good speed, great fakes and the change of pace needed to shake off tacklers...
With the loneliness of a long-distance voyeur, Alda has been spying on Sands's pay-and-playtimes through binoculars. His priggish rectitude makes him inform her landlord. Thrown out of her apartment (the setting is San Francisco), she storms into his. After that, they fight, kiss, fight, split up, fight, make up, and fight.

After all, Mills already runs a triple-barreled London establishment (casino, nightclub, restaurant) that is loaded with big game, including Prince Philip and the Sheik of Kuwait...
...Album. Everything had the power to stir Picasso's imagination. He kept owls, pigeons, even a smelly he-goat around the house. He loved to blow loudly on an old French army bugle. He was superstitious to a degree unsuspected in such an undisciplined liberal thinker. A hat thrown on a bed (meaning that someone in the house was going to die before the year was over) could throw him into a tantrum. Dancing was total depravity to Picasso, who was otherwise unbothered by convention...
