...always better when I am drinking," Tim White once explained. But it was only in the last four years of his life-thanks to some $3,000 a month from Camelot royalties-that he could always pay for his medicine. For The Sword in the Stone, which was sold outright when he was desperately poor, Walt Disney paid him a munificent $2,000. Since 1948 he had lived in Alderney, a pebble-sized Channel Island, where he won the natives' hearts by announcing that he was a 17-time bigamist on the lam from London...
...Kashmiri government offered a princely reward-$21,000 outright plus a $105 lifetime annual pension-to anyone who "traces or helps in tracing" the relic. From New Delhi came two senior Indian police officials to help authorities in Srinagar, which is in the Indian-held half of disputed Kashmir. In Pakistan, India's Prime Minister Nehru was blamed as "the real thief," though the press also hinted that the "satanic" plot might have been "conceived in the so-called intellectual cells in a faraway Western capital," meaning Washington.

Brizola has been crying for an outright moratorium on repayment. But President Johnson wrote Goulart a personal letter offering to help Brazil reschedule its debt payments. "The U.S. Government," said Johnson, "stands ready to participate in negotiations for this purpose." Still, the Brazilians gave little sign that they had much present intention of putting their house...
Last week, after a long battle in which he finally outmaneuvered the oil-rich Texans and outmoneyed them by plunking down $10,670,000 to achieve outright control of Alleghany, Allan Kirby officially resumed his role as chairman and chief executive. Back in as president went Kirby's longtime ally, Charles T. Ireland Jr., 42. "I suppose all of them believed they could just sit down and get me to back down," says Kirby of his opponents. His only regret is that the victory took so long: "I wouldn't have minded the time so much...
