Finally there was the issue' of self-de- fense One witness heard a shot another heard someone shout about getting a gun Richardson said he saw An- tonevitch reaching into a bag that the state never tried to find Edwards took each of the issues 'point by point offering clarifications of some and describing others as "red herrings" tendered to the jury to confuse them (Richardson obviously didn't need a dog to help him in the assaults Edwards said As to the stick tests on limbs used as clubs turn up human material in only a fourth of the cases as an investigator testified) Edwards dwelt at length On Richard- ion's own testimony He said he had picked up a stick by the riverbank just before be hit Antonevitch yet all the other witnesses including a defense wit- ness had him carrying the stick long be- 1 fore then If he wis afraid AntonevItch was going to shoot him Edwards saidb'why did he lunge 15 to 20 feet toward the man as he said he did?

always had an interest in art and it's simply a natural for him In fact he has traveled the world over looking at museums in other countries So whether he admits it or not he knows the business inside and out Mainly though Bill is so serious about it that he makes it pretty much a full-time project And sometimes he feels that he simply does not have enough time left over for his teaching Something that has always been his first love "The thing about being director of the art museum is that it seems to take up all of your week ends" he said "There's a reason of course "When you're connected with museums you get a lot of art work as gifts "People are always passing on great art treasures to their favorite museums "But they seem to do this on weekends when they have the time "And when they have the time that's when you have to Make the time "Because after all that's the way museums are built "It's wonderful but it would also be wonderful to have some of those weekends for yourself" North
