Testifying in court last week, FBI Agent Paul King gave a startling description of how Thevis was supplied with funds from his porno business while he was on the lam. Meanwhile, new charges piled up against him. In June he was indicted by a grand jury in Atlanta for the murder of two competitors in the porn business. The indictment gave this account of the killings: Thevis shot Kenneth Hanna in November 1970 and then stuffed him in the trunk of his own Cadillac. But Thevis bungled the job by locking up the car keys with the corpse. He asked...

...insist that they are more bored by Soap than worried about it. Says an NBC executive: "It's kids'porno: Laverne and Shirley, Three's Company-the end of a trend." CBS President Robert Wussler is rumbling about the possibility that Soap will refuel criticism of prime time programming just when the ruckus over violence is dying down.
