...drifts into town on horseback just as the tragedy is beginning to unfold. In essence, he's the mysterious stranger of a thousand westerns, eager to avoid conflict but miraculously adept at the killing arts when he is finally obliged to employ them. Ultimately he and John Wright (Jon Voight), the white storekeeper in the town and a reality-based character, make common, inspiring cause to rescue Rosewood's surviving women and children from the swamp where they have taken refuge from the blood-crazed posse searching for them. There is some historical truth to this passage...
...reported last December in the Houston Chronicle. Days after the Murray-O'Hairs disappeared, a real estate agent named Mark Sparrow, responding to a newspaper ad, paid a man he met at a bar $15,000 for a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL. The car turned out to be Jon Murray's, but the man, who identified himself as Murray, turned out to be an impostor. Sparrow told TIME that after the transaction, the bogus Jon got into a car driven by a couple that fits the general description of the real Jon and Robin. Nonetheless, some think that Jon...
...mother's Social Security and Veterans Administration checks, and that someone is placing charges of about $1,000 a month on Robin's American Express Gold Card.

Inside, Spike Tyson, who, like former employee Travis, spent hard years in Vietnam, has moved his bayonet, miniature tanks and many medals into the office once occupied by Jon Murray. Tyson, who spends much of his time fending off Bill Murray's various claims, seems game, yet fatigued. He tries to make the case for the future. "We're more of a family now," he says. "We don't have a single charismatic person, a Madalyn O'Hair...
...evanescing. Last week DREW CAREY signed a contract with Hyperion publishers allegedly worth seven figures. (It's probably just coincidence that Disney owns both Hyperion and ABC, which airs Carey's 1 1/2-year-old sitcom.) JENNY MCCARTHY had been on MTV for just two years when her book was announced. JON STEWART's talk show was canceled, yet he too will be between covers. But don't start making room on your bookshelf just yet for all these would-be TV authors. Remember Rosie O'Donnell's reportedly $3 million book deal? Jamie Raab of Warner Books (owned by Time Warner...
