...Black Liberation plotters, things seemed to be going swimmingly. Little did they know that in their midst was an undercover agent: big Ray Wood, not a pro-Castro kook at all but a New York rookie cop. Last summer he was taken from his classes at the police academy, ordered to infiltrate left-wing groups like the Black Liberation Front that at the time were suspected of fomenting Harlem riots. Wood spent hours plodding picket lines and insulting cops, managed to gain Collier's confidence, and joined the conspirators' inner circle. He kept a daily diary...
Heroine & Haymaker. Sturdy (5 ft. 7 in., 141 Ibs.), freckled, blithely irreverent, Marielle has been called "La Zazie of the Snow"-after the irrepressible heroine of Zazie dans le Métro, a bestselling novel and movie.

"What was all the shooting about last night?" asked Whitmore carelessly. For days afterward, he was answering, not asking questions...
Shortly after sticking up a Brooklyn hotel in 1960, Nathan Jackson fatally shot a pursuing policeman. Shot twice himself, Jackson got to a hospital. There, say detectives, he admitted: "I shot the colored cop. I got the drop on him." At his trial, however, Jackson testified that he had been drugged, refused water, and was in such pain that he could not remember what he said...
