While the hows and whys of the murder continued to elude the authorities, amateur assassinologists assumed from the start that King's death had been engineered by a group of white Southern racists. The plot, said some, was hatched in Birmingham; others maintained that it was a made-in-Memphis undertaking. The latter theory was given some support last week by a Memphian who told TIME and later the FBI that he had overheard a local businessman giving an unknown triggerman urgent orders to kill King on the balcony of his motel, and even specifying the price...

When Eros folded in 1963, it was followed a year later by Fact, which bogged down in exposes of everything from the danger of contact lenses to the uselessness of circumcision -not to mention a psychoanalysis of Barry Goldwater, sight unseen, by a group of overeager psychiatrists. Barry sued for $2,000,000, and the case is set for trial next month. Finding Fact too "grim" for his taste, Ginzburg folded it last summer...
