...Post could hardly have been more delighted with the fuss that it had stirred up. Curtis lost $18.9 million last year, and ever since brash young Clay Blair Jr., 37, was named editorial director of all Curtis magazines last fall, the Post has apparently been trying to hit its readers with a blockbuster a week, though its only previous success was December's notorious "eyeball-to-eyeball" account of the Cuba crisis.

Harold Loughan-a brash habitual criminal-volunteered the information that he had crept into the rooms above the John Barleycorn pub three weeks before and, in committing a robbery, had strangled to death the pub's owner, Rose Robinson.
