...complained of feeling sick, one of his three guards escorted him to the lavatory. The prisoner emerged brandishing a snub-nosed handgun. He disarmed his guards--two of whom had black belts in karate--and ordered the pilot to fly the American Airlines DC-10 to Cuba. Thus Ishmail Muslim Ali, 37, formerly known as Ishmael La Beet, once again made headlines as the Virgin Islands' most notorious criminal...
Morning, some weeks later. Miss Quested has found her adventure, her brief and, as it will happen, terrifying glimpse of Indian reality. A young Muslim physician, Dr. Aziz, has mounted an excursion to the Marabar Caves, in the hills beyond Chandrapore, for the two English ladies.

...clothes she agreed to model for the opening of his boutique in New York City. In fact, she is getting asked to do more and more modeling and TV commercial work, including spots for Chrysler and Crystal Light diet drink. She is even taking acting lessons. Does her Black Muslim husband approve? "He knows I'm selective and he knows I'll make the right decision," says Ali, who adds that the current leader of the American Muslim Mission, Iman W. Deen Muhammad, "has given women a lot of freedom to go out and do things, not just...
