...they had revoked the passport. But it doubtlessly had to do with his campaign to expose the abuses in South Africa's prisons first reported to the Mail by ex-Prisoner Robert Harold Strachan (TIME, July 23). Last week Strachan, after two months of house arrest, was formally charged with violating the Prisons Act, which makes it a crime to provide false information about the jails. His trial is set for Sept...

Owner of a closet-sized grocery store ,on Lexington Avenue just south of Spanish Harlem, DiMaggio has been the victim of 26 holdups in 20 years. He has thwarted the bandits 16 times, shot four robbers, and helped arrest twelve others. And that, as Cousin Joe, the erstwhile Yankee Clipper would agree, is pretty good clipping. Last week three armed Negroes walked into the store for Holdup No. 26. Shoving Charlie into the wash room, they scooped $300 from the cash register and fled. But Charlie, who keeps a World...
