...Whitworth, a former Navy chief radioman accused of supplying him with communications secrets for sale. Whitworth pleaded innocent last week to the charges. Walker's older brother Arthur, a retired Navy lieutenant commander, was convicted in August on similar charges and is awaiting sentencing. DEFENSE A Not-So-Hard Hat...
...extraordinary profession of innocence. Wearing his customary cowboy hat, Miami Police Chief Clarence Dickson led 30 top officers to Cedars Medical Center for drug-screening tests, which they passed. On the same day, 500 of the department's 1,020 rank-and-file policemen also submitted urine samples for testing, with results due next week. Said spokesman Jack Sullivan: "The guys were just tired of all the bad publicity." Drug-financed corruption in South Florida has provided the real-life inspiration for more than a few scripts on NBC's Miami Vice, but recent events have particularly tarnished the police...
...passing resemblance to Marlene Dietrich.

She did, however, talk animatedly with a pretty young one about English gardens. For nearly an hour, these faltering men and women in the shadow...
...ironically lowly: a rustic straw bag done in gold-and-silver-inlaid iron, or a common rice bowl. Some convey (at least from inside a glass case) a feeling of sacerdotal calm rather than ferocity, like a wonderful 17th century helmet in the form of a courtier's hat, rising like an inverted keel some two feet above the head and decorated in a tortoiseshell pattern of black and honey-colored lacquer. Others seem not to be there--a helmet, for instance, covered with a wig of animal hair to mimic a young man's coiffure, thus fooling an enemy...
