...dozens of newspapers of all sorts, from Scotland's Caithness Courier (circ. 6,000) to England's big Kemsley chain. Editors and publishers goggled at the sight of the gregarious Canuck who told risque stories in a deliberate and successful effort to crack the British reserve, and rode in a chauffeur-driven Cadillac to the subway tube-to be met at the other end by a chauffeur-driven Rolls...
Desperate Bid. For 31 years, up to last week, Héctor was literally right. In the name of Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, the Trujillo clan ruled the island as their own and enriched themselves. After the old dictator was assassinated last May as he rode to a rendezvous with his mistress, the fiefdom fell into the uncertain hands of his son and heir, Rafael ("Ramfis") Trujillo Jr., 32, who with U.S. approval was doing his best to arrange a peaceful transition. Last week, returning from exile, Uncle Hector and his brother José Arismendi, made a last desperate...
...cold, snowy mountains of Montana, just 30 miles south of the Canadian border, a weary Indian leader of the Nez Percé tribe slowly rode up a hill where U.S. cavalry soldiers waited. Dismounting, Chief Joseph handed Colonel Nelson Miles his rifle and spoke: "I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed . . . The old men are all dead . . .

A steady stream of sturdy stalwarts rode the gravy train to the oak-dotted Tuscaloosa campus, eager to knock heads and - in Bryant's words - "suck up their guts" for dear old 'Bama. Halfback Mike Fracchia (6 ft. 1 in., 186 lbs.) came from Memphis, Tenn., because "I wanted to play on a good team and I knew Coach Bryant was going to turn one out." Among Bryant's first batch of hand-picked recruits were two of Alabama's brightest stars: Quarterback Pat Trammell and Tackle Billy...
...play's subtitle, Vittoria Corombona, might have been more apt than White Devil for the Loeb offering. The show was a vehicle for Jean Weston's Vittoria, and she rode it majestically. Her fury was never shouted, but came through instead as the disciplined, brittle, half-smiling anger of a real devil. Peter Haskell, though, prevented her from stealing the show. His unconventional Flamineo, more a pimp than a conspirator, lightened Webster's heavy psychologizing. As a commentator he clarified the story; as a murderer, he mad the killer's impulse seem explicable; and even when the action reached...
