Along with their green fatigues, recruits are issued laminated plastic "merit cards" on which their instructors can punch up to 50 points a week and 80 during the final week of basic to reward them for their performance in inspections, physical-fitness tests, marksmanship and other military skills.

Jesse's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Stella James, 85, took the museum man to court with her contention-supported by most historians-that the real bandit was gunned down in 1882. Last week she made a clean getaway with...
John McCandish King is a storybook example of the go-getting American entrepreneur, a man who is willing to take the big risk to get the big reward and knows how to use technology and the tax laws. Starting with a $1,500 investment in an Oklahoma oil-drilling venture, he has amassed a personal fortune recently estimated at $480 million. Though the stock-market skid has somewhat deflated his holdings, he does not have to worry where his next oil well is coming from. At 43, he is a big bear...
