...University Road is an entry in a block-square building behind the Treadway Motor House and across from the Bennett St. MBTA yards. The property of the University, the building was the scene of a still-unsolved crime in 1963, when Boston University student Beverly Samans was murdered in her apartment...
...raiders returned to base unscathed, but Israel's image did not fare quite so well. The attack on relatively peaceable Beirut seemed a case of excessive vengeance hardly tailored to the crime of the two Arab terrorists in Athens. The pair happened to set out on their mission against an Israeli airliner from Lebanon-but could have started from anywhere. In any case, they and their extremist colleagues are now largely operating independently of all Arab governments. The U.S. State Department called in the ranking Israeli diplomat in Washington to protest the raid "in the strongest possible terms...
EVERY industry has its own sensitive indicators, be they birth rates, bank rates or crop forecasts. The FBI's recent report that the U.S. crime rate is running a brisk 19% ahead of 1967 came as no surprise to one industry whose prosperity is judged by such statistics.

Horan, a prolific ex-journalist with an omniverous curiosity about crime (The D.A.'s Man) is not quite up to turning the Pinkertons into either a study in American character or a social history of violence. But he does mount nice rogues' gallery snapshots of such Pinkerton-defying sinners as Confederate Spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow (whose charms earned her a peek at the blueprints of various forts around Washington) and "Old Bill" Miner, who held up his first stagecoach in 1866 and his last train in 1911. He also...
