...Edward Headington, spokesman for one of the Boycott organizers, the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), described the scene for TIME.com from his position in the middle of the march that clogged streets downtown near City Hall: "It's hard to tell how many people are here and we haven't gotten any estimates yet from the police. There haven't been any incidents. It's very peaceful, but very loud. There are a lot of people wearing white shirts in the crowd and more American flags are being waved than any other.

His purchase of a British investment fund, First Tokyo Index Trust, illustrates how Maxwell used financial sleight of hand and guile to finance deals.

Characteris tically, Maxwell was the first member to make his maiden speech. "I was glad he waited until...
...Scholar Lewis to be quieter about his Christianity would be surprised to learn how quiet about it he really is. So rigidly private does he keep his private life that virtually none of his best friends have been invited even to tea at his twelve-room house in suburban Headington (as a Fellow of Magdalen, he has rooms in the college as well). Lewis sometimes refers vaguely to living with his "old mother," though his friends know that she has been dead since his childhood. One persistent rumor identifies the "mother" as a Mrs. Moore, mother of a friend killed...
