...back as any one can remember, Magruder was a popular, even irresistible figure: outgoing, unpretentious, effervescent. A member of one of Maryland's oldest families, he grew up on Staten Island in New York City. As a teenager, he became a star tennis player. He graduated from Williams College with honors and married a Vassar beauty, Gail Nicholas, who shared his conservative political views. While working in a management-consultant firm in Chicago, he earned a master's degree in business administration...

Everywhere, the battle was being waged with rowboats, shovels and sand. On Kaskaskia Island, smack in the middle of the Mississippi 75 miles south of St. Louis, college students teamed with inmates from nearby...
...policeman. But the jurors were hopelessly deadlocked on the attempted murder charge because they were unable to decide on the issue of intent. The sentence on the other charges could still run to 50 years, however. And Brown also faces trial on charges of inciting a riot in Maryland as well as a five-year sentence, which he is appealing, for carrying a carbine across state lines while under indictment on the Maryland charge...
