...Forlorn Servicemen. Katz is a remarkable mixture of opportunist and traditionalist. Born in Odessa of Russian-Jewish parents, he came to the U.S. as an infant, at the age of 14 was given a tiny printing press by his father. He used it to print letterheads and menus, and to turn out a magazine called Boy's Ideal, which eventually gained a circulation of 2,500 at 250 per annual subscription. He took his earnings and went to the University of Pittsburgh, but dropped out during...
Salt Mines & Big Brother. For the adventurous tourist with more time and money, there are now 100 open cities to choose from.

Sentenced in Vienna to 2½ years, Raja was quietly released six months later...
...believe that their battles, which often were refereed at the local police precinct in Louisville, contributed to young Cassius' wavering hold on his emotions. Today, mother and father hold court in a trim bungalow in Louisville. In the driveway stand two castoff Cadillacs from Cassius, "His" and "Hers." Odessa still tries to keep a semblance of cool around the house, while Old Cassius tromps around thinking up ideas for commercial schemes-food endorsements, perhaps a nationwide chain of "Clay's Kitchens" or "Clay's Whatnot Shops...
