Jenkins and Choka were booked. Since the police had a full set of prints from Jenkins' arrest in 1959, only a thumbprint was taken. At the central cell block in the basement, Jenkins paid a $50 bond and was freed. Forfeiture of the bond is, in effect, a waiver of the right to trial but not a confession of guilt...
...were not quite right. So the late novelist created a magical car in stories he told his son Caspar, now 12, and some of them will be published under the title, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. The car's owner, Commander Caractacus Pott, fortyish, is rather like Commander James Bond, except that he has a family, and the car, a supercharged Paragon Panther, is a near cousin to 007's Bentley.

With his 1958 bestseller, The Travels of Jamie McPheeters, Author Taylor staked out a modest claim on the edge of the Mark Twain country. Young Sam, if not an authentic Tom Sawyer, is a reasonably good facsimile, and he can also take as much physical punishment as James Bond. For this new novel, Taylor has carefully mined the journals, diaries, .newspapers and histories of middle 19th century America...
