Blue Suede. Shob Carter's murder was apparently solved when a police officer spotted the victim's battered black Volkswagen, bearing stolen license plates, 35 miles north of San Francisco. In the car were $2,657 in cash evidently stolen from the prosperous peddler, and the driver, a daredevil motorcycle racer named Eric Dahlstrom, 23. Beside him on the seat was a grisly piece of evidence: Carter's right forearm, neatly sutured at the severed end and wrapped in a blue suede...
...months after their marriage, Archerd told police in the Los Angeles suburb of Covina, two burglars entered their house.

The cotton crop is again badly infested by leaf worm, but because there is not enough money to buy insecticide, youngsters have been sent into the fields to pick the worm off the plants by hand. The tourist tide has dried, the guides at the pyramids and Sphinx sit playing...
...Tribune was started to "oppose the undue exercise of priestly authority." Under the ownership of a wealthy Roman Catholic family named Kearns, the Tribune eventually surpassed the News because of its more comprehensive coverage; it also made light of Mormon officialdom. The church pumped considerable cash into the paper so that it could compete. In 1952 both papers grew weary of battle and combined their advertising and business departments while they remained separate editorially...
