...beseech you ... to grant me a gift almost as precious as freedom itself-a gift without which freedom ceases to have much value-the gift of privacy. Give me a chance-a fair chance-to start life anew." Then he answered a few questions about his $10-a-month lab technician's job in a Puerto Rican hospital, grimly commented when asked if he felt free: "I feel hemmed in." With a posse of reporters yelping at their heels, Leopold and lawyer hopped into a rented car and dashed off toward Chicago. New to high-speed driving, Leopold...
...embarrassing picket was James Sweeny, 59, a onetime coal miner and longtime professional organizer who was booted out of his $6,500-a-year job a few weeks ago and into retirement with a $96-a-month pension. At the same time, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. fired, retired or switched to different jobs nearly 100 organizers (out of 218). The A.F.L.-C.I.O. explained the shake-out as a necessary economy measure, but to the jolted organizers and ex-organizers it seemed just a hard-fisted example of old-fashioned capitalistic union-busting. Reason: early in 1957, the organizers organized a little...

...malaria-control experiments during World War II. He applied for parole three times, wras turned down each time-until last week, when the Illinois parole board on a split vote approved his fourth application. He promised to devote his life to good works, plans to take a $10-a-month hospital job in Puerto Rico. Yet Leopold is still not convinced that his mind is not that of a superman. In his book, Life Plus 99 Years (Doubleday; $5.50), published this week, he refuses to recognize that he was caught up by stupidity, attributes his downfall to freaks of fate...
...Angeles, where Paul's love of books earned him the high school nickname, "Dictionary Getty." After two years at the University of Southern California and the University of California at Berkeley, and a year studying economics at Oxford, Paul took a world tour on a $250-a-month allowance from his parents. In 1914, at 21, Paul Getty arrived in Tulsa, Okla., ready for work. He began buying and selling oil leases with his father's backing (on a 30-70 split). In his first year he made $40.000, announced elatedly: "I will stay in Tulsa until...
