...into every exposé, witness the case of Don Luce, 36, a U.S. correspondent in Viet Nam. Last spring Luce (no kin to TIME'S founder) discovered political prisoners of the Vietnamese government locked into underground "tiger cages" that were being maintained by American dollars supporting the Vietnamese penal system. Luce told visiting Democratic Congressmen William R. Anderson and Augustus F. Hawkins, then escorted them on a tour of the cages, during which Congressional Aide Tom Harkin snapped a number of damning pictures. The Congressmen broke the story, and Luce supplied material for a pictorial essay in LIFE, creating...
...White House to donate $95 million for pollution control. Lassie taped a show battling the same cause last week. Not to be out-involved, other series are tackling the grievances of migrant workers, the excesses of twitchy-fingered National Guardsmen, the spread of gonorrhea, the need for penal reform, the problems of abortion, and the Senate seniority system...
...life scenario begins in Paris, on Montmartre in 1930. At 23, he is a suave breaker of hearts and a slick cracker of safes. Suddenly, he is framed for a murder he did not commit and sentenced to prison for life-or "perpetuity" as the French, knowing their own penal system, more realistically put it.

For Paris Match, he revisits French Guiana and poses in the crumbling cells of the now abandoned penal colony. "Would you like to come back to France for good?" a reporter asks him. "France is my blood," says Papillon, with that terse flair that never seems to desert him. "Venezuela is my heaven." Two books are written attacking Papillon. One claims the author was not really much...
...Injuries. Last week, however, that ending seemed somewhat in question. After a lengthy investigation, Piraeus Public Prosecutor Constantine Fafoutis formally recommended that Niarchos be charged with causing bodily injuries leading to his wife's death. The prosecutor suggested that Niarchos be tried under Article 311 of the Greek penal code, which corresponds to the Anglo-Saxon concept of involuntary homicide. Under Greek legal procedure, the prosecutor's recommendation now goes to a "penal council" composed of three magistrates, who must decide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant bringing Niarchos to trial. If convicted under Article 311, Niarchos...
