...Broadway (Coco) composer, and father of Mia Farrow's twin sons: Dory Previn, 44, lyricist who recently recorded Beware of Young Girls in lament of Andre's departure: after ten years of marriage, no children; in Los Angeles. Previn and Mia are presently in the wilds of Scotland, where, he says, they will be married, presumably as soon as he has signed the divorce papers and returned them to Los Angeles...
...infamous sex killer of 1888 arises from the continuing mystery of his identity, a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons now claims that the police knew who he was all along. In an article prepared for Criminologist magazine, say London press reports, Thomas Stowell asserts that Scotland Yard kept Jack's identity secret for a peculiarly British reason: the mad murderer came from an aristocratic family. Certain as he is of his facts, the doctor declines to reveal Lord Jack's identity. Think of the family...
Last week Phillips Petroleum Co. announced what it called a "giant" oil discovery-one with at least a billion barrels of recoverable crude-in the North Sea.

The island's eight distilleries, bearing such names as Bruichladdich, Lagavulin and Bunnahabhain, produce 2,500,000 gallons annually but are well behind demand. "Everyone is making just as much...
Died. Thomas Butler, 57, the Scotland Yard detective who caught the "Great Train Robbers"; of lung cancer; in London. It took five years of tracking down clues from Britain to Morocco to South America before the Yard's "Gray Fox" finally nabbed the last of the 15 thieves who in August 1963 made off with more than $7,000,000 from a Glasgow-to-London mail train. Closing that case was the capstone of a 34-year career in which Butler, according to admiring colleagues, combined the intellect of Sherlock Holmes with the persistence of Inspector Maigret...
