Last March, Speck showed up in Monmouth, Ill., where he had spent his early years. Soon afterward, a 33-year-old barmaid was found beaten to death in an abandoned hog house; then a 65-year-old widow was bound, robbed and raped. According to Police Chief Harold Tinder, Speck left town the night of the latter crime. In late April, he shipped out on an iron-ore boat but was sent ashore after one week to undergo an emergency appendectomy in Hancock, Mich. There, he made friends with a newly divorced nurse, Judy Laakaniemi, 28. Speck dated her several...

Later, she lies yawning atop the Land Rover, unmoved by a young bachelor lion laying under a tree. Before Elsa mates successfully, reports the surrogate Mrs. Adamson, "we suffered all the agony of parents whose teen-age daughter...
...South Dakota pharmacist who was bankrupted by the Depression. Young Hubert's education in political science at the University of Minnesota was interrupted by financial troubles for six years. Before he finally received his degree magna cum laude, he had worked as a druggist, soda jerk, janitor and hog inoculator. After marrying a home-town girl, Muriel Buck, and fathering the first of their four children, Humphrey went to graduate school and wrote his master's thesis on the New Deal. Settling in Minneapolis, where his first teaching job was for the WPA, he inevitably became involved...
