...celebrity plaintiff. Small wonder, then, that hardly a seat was vacant during the 14 days of testimony and summation in the libel suit brought against the Star, a lurid London tabloid, by best-selling Novelist (First Among Equals, Kane and Abel) and former Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Jeffrey Archer. The charge: that the Star falsely claimed that Archer had purchased the services of a London prostitute. Last week the jury of eight men and four women wrote a happy ending for the novelist. After deliberating for less than four hours, they found in Archer's favor, awarding...
...lawsuit grew out of the revelation last November by the News of the World, a rival tabloid, that Archer, 47, had offered to pay for an overseas trip by Monica Coghlan, a 36-year-old London call girl. Coghlan had claimed to the News of the World that Archer paid her $100 to have sex with her.

During the trial Coghlan, 36, who admitted to having sex with "thousands" of men during a 19-year career as a prostitute, testified that Archer had approached her in Shepherd Market, an area off fashionable Park Lane favored...

Watson writes hard-and-fast books about rules (and innocently runs afoul of them still). Player considers himself more of an interpreter, like George Archer. Once, when his ball came to rest at the base of a tree, Archer summoned a referee and requested relief under the burrowing- animals statute. "What burrowing animals?" the official demanded. Archer knelt down and pointed in horror. "Ants...
...Brownwood, two unarmed Air Force Phantom F-4 jets crashed while engaged in what the military called a "defensive-maneuver training mission." The crash left debris that stretched for five miles. Two men died, and two parachuted to safety. Finally, over Westerly, R.I., a Piper Cherokee and a Piper Archer, both single-engine, general-aviation aircraft, grazed each other, but both crews were able to land without injury...
