Richard Robles, a sallow-faced, 22-year-old junkie, learned that lesson too late last week when a Manhattan jury found him guilty of the sadistic murders of Career Girls Janice Wylie and Emily Hoffert in August 1963.

Says Van Lennep, a jonkheer whose title of nobility dates from the early 19th century: "With Working Party III, a new dimension has been added to international monetary discussions. Now we discuss the problems of countries with surpluses as well as those with deficits...
