...through Catholic neighborhoods of Belfast and Londonderry as women banged dustbin lids in the early morning darkness and gangs of youthful I.R.A. sympathizers attacked army and police patrols with stones and fire bombs. At week's end the grim cycle began all over again as Patrick O'Hara, 24, became the fourth hunger striker to die. The rioting left one man and a twelve-year-old girl dead-apparently victims of plastic bullets-while six British soldiers were injured. But neither last week's casualties, nor the possibility of more to come, seemed likely to force...
BOBBY SANDS and Frankie Hughes are dead now, and Patsy O'Hara and Raymond McCreesh wait to die. Each will give his life for the same reason--to free Ireland of an occupying army of British imperialists. And each deserves every barroom balland that will surely be written about him, for they are courageous parts of a courageous tradition...

His version of Scarlett O'Hara's Tara is Wynfield, a rambling 140-acre estate near Montgomery, complete with a 19-room Georgian mansion, a swimming pool, stables and magnolia trees. The bright red hair that earned him the nickname of his youth is now sparse and streaked with gray, but the strapping, 6-ft. 2-in. Blount keeps trim with frequent tennis matches and ski trips to Vail, Colo. On jaunts to visit construction sites around the U.S., he sometimes personally pilots one of his company...
