...event, the bill will not come in time to help the Government in the FBI case. Defense attorneys want to bring out classified information that might justify their clients' covert operations (the Weatherman, they claim, was dealing with Palestinian guerrillas, Cuba and North Viet Nam). So far the Government has refused to hand over the information. Last week the judge agreed to try Felt and Miller separately from Gray, partly because they claim that they acted on Gray's orders. It appears that Felt and Miller will go to trial, but since prosecuting Gray would bring out very...
...Harris, 39, had a better forecast record than many another New York-area weatherman. Partly for that reason he had three jobs earning him about $75,000 a year, working simultaneously for CBS radio, the New York Times and the Long Island Railroad. His credentials were impressive: B.S. from the University of Buffalo, M.S. from New York University and Ph.D. in geophysics from Columbia. Despite the fact that CBS required no special education to qualify for the job and his colleagues did not take kindly to the title, Harris insisted on being called "Doctor." Then, two weeks...

Umpire Joe Driscoll of Arlington watched the rain fall not-so-gently on the grassy plains of Holyoke High for four innings before suspending the contest at the end of the sixth, prompting coach Loyal Park to moan, "What happened out there was inexcusable. And a local guy did it to us." And he had a point--the wet stuff was falling no harder in the sixth than it had been in the eventually-fatal third when the Blue Hens scored their...
...took over and immediately scotched a plan to promote Adams again. Instead, trying to rid the bureau of hard-core Hooverites, Gray ordered Adams out of headquarters, to the backwater office in San Antonio. (Many veteran agents believe that Adams urged Attorney General Bell to prosecute Gray for the Weatherman break-ins to even the score...
