There's only one University of Vermont, and that's in Burlington. I think you accidentally thought it was in Middlebury because of the well-known UVM initials, which actually refer to the university's Latin name "Universitas Viridis Montis."

Andy, I assume you mean the first man in the UK to be convicted. There has been at least one in the US who has been convicted (in GA no less).

Oh, you are right Tom. For some reason I had Middlebury College in my head.
