Florida police believe that it was a
drug-addicted burglar who broke
into Nathan Radlich’s house in
May and stole a tackle box that
contained the ashes of Radlich’s
late sister, Gertrude. Because more
vaiuable items were not taken,
police believe the thief thought
he/she had stumbled upon a cache
of cocaine.

Toronto police were trying in June
to trace a thumbprint they thought
would identify the person who
burgled the offices of Hayden
Communications. The thief made
off with $75, but while in the of-
fice apparently took time out to
play with Leslie Hayden’s Silly
Putty, in which the thumbprint
was left.

In a July report on lawsuits
brought against the Hooters bar
and restaurant chain by waitresses

An Associated Press story reports
that West Virginia supreme court
judge Richard Neely calls himself
“America’s laziest and dumbest
judge.”" Recently,. at an American
Legion conference, he gave this
advice to 350 teenage boys: ‘Tape
a rubber to your American Ex-
press card and don’t leave home
without it.”’ Neely is the author of
six books outlining his radical
cures for American society, such
as attacking drug dealers with

College basketball coach Ed Cor-
poral resigned last month after the
St, Joseph News-Press reported
that almost all of the breathtaking
athletic credentials on his resume
were false. Most of his boasts
were effortlessly disproved by
checking easily accessible sports
record books. Among the honors
Corporal claimed were an NBA
career with the New Jersery Nets,
three straight years on the
Southeastern Conference all-star
basketball team, and the Univer-
sity of Florida’s ‘‘All-Decade”’
team for the 1980s. When in-
formed that none of the institu-

poral was at first defiant: ‘‘Why

of it, | don't know. I don’t have
any reason to make things up.”’
