right beside my autographed picture of Pat
Boone.
j I suppose that non-violence, patience,
jperserverance, unselfishness, humility,
idecisiveness, and dependability are all
very nice things to have, but I suspect
that the only persons who can truly lay
claim to them are sleeping in boxes.
My intention here is certainly not to
attack Miss Landers. But this sort of cock
oracular pronouncement is a little

There were many mistakes, and UNC-A used
