Sprague first sensed something was amiss when he told Breuning about his difficulty in getting two nurses to agree more than 80% of the time on the severity of mentally ill patients' symptoms.

That idle boast of scientific exactitude -- a virtual impossibility -- persuaded Sprague to look back through his colleague's research and then to contact the NIMH, which had funded both Breuning's and Sprague's work...
This, though, is a relatively small matter. Better to celebrate the rise to prominence of Harbison and fellow Symphonists Albert and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, who won her Pulitzer in 1983.

Goetz offers self-defense as the reason why he shot four black youths who he suspected were preparing to rob him. His attorney has relentlessly highlighted the criminal intentions of the four...
