Grand Juries in Question Across States
The piece weighs pros and cons of abolishing grand juries. It notes abuses from insufficient evidence and revenge schemes, but also cites their role as a shield between citizens and oppressors. It argues that experience marks them useful and constitutionally recognized, despite occasional misuses. The closing line likens life to a hard conundrum we all must give up.

Comet Talk From Safford and Delafontaine at Chicago Observatory
A Chicago Tribune visit to Professor Safford and Professor Delafontaine yields opinions on the comet. Safford says Earth is unlikely to pass through the tail and estimates the tail at about 5,000,000 miles, leaving Earth about 21,000,000 miles from the end if aligned with the sun. Delafontaine cites spectroscopic data showing the nucleus as incandescent rarefied gas rather to a solid or dense gas, with a discontinuous spectrum supporting this view.
