Judge Seeks Accord in Greensboro Coliseum Search Case
Federal Judge Eugene Gordon urged the plaintiffs and defendants in a civil suit against the Greensboro Coliseum to reach a mutual agreement over alleged unconstitutional searches. The case, brought by Elizabeth Wheaton and Deborah Wheeler, accuses police of targeting young rock fans more than older attendees. Wheeler testified she was searched without consent before an Eric Clapton concert in 1974, with confiscation of a bottle and her arrest.

Notrump Slam Showcased in 1932 Life Masters Play
Oswald and James Jacoby recount a hand from the 1932 Life Masters pairs where Ted Lightner and Mike Gottlieb drove six notrump for 12 tricks after a club ace knockout. The piece notes two teams reached six clubs and contrasts a failed six diamond bid due to a favorable diamond lead. It argues many modern players might not bid that slam today despite the hand’s clarity.
