Once again, Huie has shown that money in the right hands pays off. Under the cautious eye of Attorney Arthur Hanes, James Earl Ray, the accused killer of Martin Luther King Jr., is telling his life story to Huie. In exchange, Huie is financing Ray's defense. So far, Huie has not been permitted to see Ray, but he has received some 20,000 handwritten words, which he is exhaustively checking out. Ray may or may not be involved, but Huie has become convinced that a conspiracy led to the murder. Huie plans to publish one article before Ray...
Huie knows that the Ray assignment is a possibly dangerous one. He hopes it will be his last. He would prefer to write novels now that at 57, he feels time is growing short. He has already written five, most recently, The Klansman, a powerful portrait of a Southern sheriff who is pulled one way by the Klan, the other way by his better instincts; the Klan wins.

SATIE: PIANO MUSIC, VOL. 3 (Angel). Debussy called Erik Satie "a sweet medieval musician who wandered into this century."

That is because Cash, lean and tough look ing at 36, sings with granite conviction and mordant wit about sadness, pain, loneliness and hard luck. Though...
Scientists at American Science and Engineering Corp. who designed the X-ray telescope system are confident that their photographs will give new insights into the still-mysterious nature of the workings of the sun. Eventually, study of these X-ray outbursts may provide a better understanding of the cause of solar-magnetic disturbances and help scientists to forecast flares. Such early warnings could be vital to astronauts exploring the surface of the moon. Unless they take cover in their spacecraft before a hail of particles arrives from the sun, the explorers could receive a deadly dose of radiation...
