...shadowy French Canadian seaman named Raoul. As the case developed, the "Ray alone" theory seemed to many to have inconsistencies. In the end most are satisfactorily resolved. A false citizen-band radio report on the day of the murder, telling of a 100-m.p.h. chase after a white Mustang thought to be driven by Ray, proved to be not the work of confederates but of a teenage prankster. There is no real mystery about Ray's source of cash either: he was a professional stickup man. It was his character, both erratic and highly methodical, that gave...
...married and had a son (named after him, now seven years old). Then he took a mistress, Greta lude, a beautician. On Aug. 19, 1965, Blyden parked a rented car, a blue 1965 Mustang, in front of his girl friend's house in The Bronx.

He says he stole the car and gave a ride to an acquaintance named Ronnie, who told him: "Man, you picked me up just in time. I just pulled off a sting!" Moore adds that he took Ronnie to New Jersey and never saw him again. He claims he is confessing because "Blyden...
Shift in the Mix. Some auto-industry observers believe that Chrysler will drop both the Challenger and Barracuda next year. Though the Mustang and Camaro will probably be around a little longer, the end of the sports compact is in sight. Last week Ford temporarily closed down its Dearborn assembly plant, which turns out Mustangs and Cougars. The reason: to add faster-selling cars to the plant's product mix as the sports compacts decline...
