Tough to Prove. Certainly there are a number of unanswered questions. Why would Ray have killed King? How did he finance a year of travel, ranging from Acapulco to Montreal, London and Lisbon, between his escape from the state penitentiary in Jefferson City, Mo., on April 23, 1967, and his arrest at London's Heathrow Airport on June 8, 1968? How could he have acquired passports, false identification and four cred ible aliases without help? For that matter, did Ray-who has repudiated his guilty plea and demanded a trial-really kill King?

This time they will be sending two teams into battle with eight different N.H.L. clubs. "It's going to be like the play-offs," says Montreal Forward...
...least partly due to the rise in fuel costs. But last April, Elmer MacKay, a Tory Member of Parliament, revealed that one of Pratte's appointees, Marketing Vice President Yves Menard, had authorized a curious payment of $100,000 as a "consultant's fee" to one of Montreal's top travel agents.
