...Stand. Some death notices, like Miss Hopkins', mature along with their subjects. In St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch obituary on former Mayor Bernard Dickmann, now 76, has gathered dust for 30 years. The Chicago Tribune cast two galleys of type on Charles Lindbergh so long ago that no one on the staff remembers the obituary's vintage year. During a 1936 visit to San Francisco, George Bernard Shaw, then 79, was offered the chance to edit his own obit in the Chronicle. Shaw let it stand...
...down in the same sort of bickering and flatulent debate that plagued Adoula's ill-fated government. There are few rebel prisoners untainted by the Simba massacres; in fact, there are few rebel prisoners of any kind, because the government soldiers kill their captives with as much dispatch as the Simbas.

...Dispatch Case. The traitor is John W. Butenko, 39, American-born son of Russian immigrants, honors graduate in engineering, trusted employee in New Jersey of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., and holder of top security clearance as a key electronics technician dealing with counter-strike operations of the Strategic Air Command.

With him were two Soviet diplomats (since expelled from the U.S. after invoking diplomatic immunity), and Igor Ivanov, a "chauffeur" for Amtorg, the Soviet...
Butenko, a hypertensive bachelor, insisted that he was trying to get information about relatives behind the Iron Curtain. Witnesses testified that Butenko's dispatch case, containing two secret documents, was found in the Russians' car near by, along with a copying machine, a radio and a cigarette case, each concealing a camera, and an electronic signaling device. In Newark last week a Federal Court jury found Butenko and Ivanov guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage, and Butenko alone of failing to register as an agent for a foreign government. Sentence has not yet been passed, but both...
...over the globe. He took a newsman's wry pride in having scooped the world on the signing of the World War I armistice, which he happened to report four days before it actually took place. Having seen what was apparently a government dispatch and having relied on an unimpeachable source-Admiral Henry B. Wilson, commanding U.S. naval forces in France-Howard never regretted his premature dispatch: "No real reporter could have or would have done otherwise...
