...money? Nixon's contributors include the Reader's Digest's DeWitt Wallace, Chicago Insurance Executive W. Clement Stone, Steel Heiress Helen Clay Frick, and 100,000 donors who sent in contributions by mail. Humphrey's finances are run by Stockbroker John L. Loeb, Sidney J. Weinberg and ex-Commerce Secretary John Connor. To raise his funds, McCarthy has Howard Stein of the Dreyfus Fund, his kinderklatsch and a pride of beautiful people.

The crowbar rammed through Piper's scrotum, smashed his pelvis, punctured his intestines, stomach, diaphragm and a lung before stopping within a quarter...
...Mystery Ship, Hell!" The bidding would have brought a cheer from the Lafayette Escadrille. Top price was for a Sopwith Camel, believed to be the last original, which went to Manhattan Stockbroker J. W. Middendorf II for $40,000 (it cost $8,000 new in 1918). Second highest price was $20,500 for an immaculate 1927 Curtiss Gulf hawk 1 A. The buyer: Korean War Pilot Dolph Overton, 40, who already has 40 vintage aircraft in his Santee, S.C., aircraft museum.
