JUST a year ago, when the boyish face of Jordan's King Hussein first appeared on TIME'S cover, TIME noted that "to young King Hussein the complex intrigues of Araby are as familiar as baseball statistics to a U.S. teenager. The Hashemites have found intrigue a matter of simple survival amidst ambitious rivals." The rivals are still there; so is the intrigue. But the boy is now a man-of 21.

Hummel's boyish face was impassive: he had little to worry about, since he was already serving a life sentence for another murder, and Michigan law forbids capital punishment.
