...prospective employer, a circus performer named Louis Weitzman, agreed to try the boy out. He led him up a ladder to a platform 40 ft. in the air. "Just walk behind me," said Weitzman as he started out on the high wire, "and when I bend a little, you get up and do a handstand on my shoulders." Karl Wallenda looked down. "I can't," he said. "You do it," said Weitzman, "or I'll shake you off the wire...
After Siegel had spent only a single night at the new sleep-wake clinic of New York's Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center, Neurologist Elliot Weitzman's suspicions about him were confirmed; as soon as Siegel fell asleep, the functioning of the muscles of his upper respiratory tract became so impaired that breathing would come to a total halt for as long as a minute (doctors are uncertain whether excessive muscle relaxation or contraction is responsible). Then Siegel would awake with a start, and in his groggy state would gasp for air with a loud snore. The loud...
These men are not the low-income deserters who seek a "poor man's divorce," says Sociologist Lenore Weitzman, a graduate student at Columbia University who is currently completing a study of missing people.

Harvard's guards regained their composure and their usual steady ball handling, and sophomore second stringer Bob Beller put the Crimson in front with a jumper from the corner. Weitzman tied it with a 15-footer. Williams was fouled and calmly sank two free throws, but McNaught countered with a 25-foot swishing jump shot, as the clock showed 40 seconds. That set the stage for the last-minute drama...
