Adam Clayton Powell is no ordinary clergyman - or Congressman. He spends much of his time these days cavorting in a Bahamian hideaway with a beauty queen that he has put on his payroll. He is a fugitive from his own district, where he faces a year and four months in jail for defying a $164,000 libel judgment.

...Titania's aria in Mignon. Immediately, her parents' agent, "Uncle Charlie" Tucker, moved in, arranged to get Julie's buckteeth straightened. Within a year, she was belting out her "bastardized opera" in a special command performance. "You sang beautifully, Julie," Her Majesty, now the Queen Mother, told her. She had become, at 13, the family's prime breadwinner...
...Chicago. This week a Fort Wayne businessman will attempt to help the hurt. Onetime Test Pilot George H. Bailey will start flying HUB Airlines, into which he is pouring $750,000. Using three Beech Queen Airliners, HUB will provide four round trips daily between Fort Wayne and Meigs Airport in downtown Chicago. Next month the service will be expanded to Cincinnati, and eventually HUB expects to be flying between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, Detroit and Cleveland as well. HUB and a company called Altair Airlines, which begins Philadelphia-Albany service this week with interplant General Electric executives as its primary...
