...highest levels in the state. Bolles' killer, a small-time hoodlum named John Adamson, turned state's evidence to avoid first-degree murder charges. He implicated a land developer and a plumber in the plot and said that the man who ordered the murder was Kemper Marley, 70, a cattle and liquor baron who looks as if he just stepped out of the pages of Zane Grey. Crusty and brusque, Marley has a reputation for getting what he wants any way he wants. He was the biggest contributor ($19,000) to Governor Castro's election campaign. While...
...soon fell prey to Beatlemania. Well, the boys have grown old now, and an anxious continent waits for their return. Well, I got news. They aren't ever coming back. But guess who's coming on Sunday?

He seldom appears in either milieu, but when he does, it is with a retinue that includes a shaman, a cook, one "herbsman" laden with marijuana, and several athletes...
Anything goes in this atmosphere of raw capitalism. Marley's rock guitars, the tribal chanting of a group like Burning Spear, even Toots and the Maytals' infatuation with U.S. country-and-western, are allowed inside the reggae big top. Organs, saxophones and flutes often accompany the basic guitar-drum-bass troika...
