...Author Clarence Mulford's original pulp-paper stories, Hoppy had been a ragged, tobacco-chewing, whiskery cowpoke who walked with a bad limp. But Boyd made him a veritable Galahad of the range-a soft-spoken paragon who did not smoke, drink, or kiss girls, who tried to capture the rustlers instead of shooting them, and who always let the villain draw first if gunplay was inevitable...
...enviable reputation: Britons (who pride themselves in such matters) consider him one of their best living landscape painters. Last week Kitchens was bidding for a reputation in an altogether different field: his new exhibition at London's Leicester Galleries consisted almost entirely of reclining nudes.

In Washington, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Forrest P. Sherman said the mines were Russian-made, "only recently from the warehouse," probably set adrift in Korean rivers. More than 65 have been swept up so far. They are illegal under The Hague Convention of 1907, which forbids unmoored mines. Russia, however, had never signed the convention...
