Almost weekly the overpopulated death row at Central Prison in Raleigh grows more crowded. Nine more men arrived last month, raising the total of those awaiting asphyxiation in the gas chamber to 62 men. Two women facing execution are confined in another Raleigh prison. The rapid influx has long since filled the 42 dingy cells in Central's F-block that were originally designated death row, and some inmates are being held in other cell blocks. Says Warden Sam Garrison: "If this keeps up, we will have to start doubling up the men in the cells...
Ford seems to understand this and he is clinging to his old lifestyle. He uses Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco, sometimes out of a can. After Daughter Susan and Photographer David Kennerly gave Ford his new pup, Liberty, the President stuffed some dog biscuits into his pockets. As plain folks know, the new master of a golden retriever should pass out the rewards and feed the dog for a few weeks.

...almost 900-year-old dungeon in the Tower of London, where historic heroes like Sir Walter Raleigh and villains like Guy Fawkes were once imprisoned, was jammed with the usual crowd of summer tourists last week.

Indeed, the tonnage figure is conservative. Much more was taken than the clerks recorded. And for centuries, at home as well as abroad, all was destroyed. Until quite recently, Raleigh's "Indian Golde" was still being...
...phone to Blue Ridge Cottage Industries in Boone, North Carolina, the distributors, to see what we could find out. Like whether they use a hot-shot New York advertising firm. They don't said a gentleman there. They have their own vice-president who learned advertising skills in Raleigh and who designs their packaging. Their firm is only two years old and had taken over distribution from Jack Guy--there really is a Jack Guy, and he lives in Sugar Grove, N.C., and he is very helpful and informative, the man said, but after half an hour he might...
