...achievements strangely resembled Adolf Hitler's, Novelist Aldous Huxley this week published the first biography to be written in English. Father Joseph is an almost perfect subject for Aldous Huxley.

Arrested next day on suspicion, John Serido, Anthony Buccolo and Doyle Gaza-way, who had driven the car, admitted a series of holdups in central and northern New Jersey, and the Moskowitz attempt. Said they of Max: "The guy was just too tough...
