...irrational purges of the clergy to date, Castro jailed 40 Baptist ministers and 13 Baptist laymen, including two Americans: the Rev. Herbert Caudill, 61, a missionary in Cuba for 35 years and head of the 9,000-member Baptist Convention of Western Cuba, and Caudill's son-in-law, the Rev. James David Fite, 31, who has been in Cuba since 1960. They joined seven other Baptist ministers - none of them Americans -jailed in recent weeks...
...Brooklyn is college-trained Anthony Scotto, 30. He is a special case: he was hand-picked by the late Tony Anastasio, who happened to be his father-in-law. And one of the fastest-rising men in the Ladies' Garment Workers is Dave Dubinsky's son-in-law Shelley Appleton, 45. Obviously one of the best ways to get ahead in U.S. unionism is to marry the boss's daughter...
Another comer on the Tory front bench is Christopher Soames, Winston Churchill's son-in-law, who moved up from Agriculture to replace troublesome Peter Thorneycroft as shadow Defense Minister. Thorneycroft, whose wildly expensive projects for military aircraft had proved embarrassing to Sir Alec, was reassigned to shadow the Home Office, where he will have less chance to get into mischief.

He is the heir to the Baring banking fortune, a godson of the late King George V, and son-in-law of Lord Rothermere the press lord. He has all the marks of aristocracy: Eton, Cambridge (he dropped out after a year), wartime service in the Grenadier Guards, and a postwar stint with J. P. Morgan & Co. in Manhattan before he became managing director of the family bank in 1947. Sent...
...truce seems inevitable, since both camps are rent by internal strife and riddled with clichés. While Kuroki contends with a trigger-happy Buddhist, the American captain (Clint Walker) has to restrain a volatile young officer (played with unwarranted assurance by Singer Tommy Sands, Sinatra's son-in-law). The first meeting of G.I. and Jap ends with some cute business of swapping cigarettes for fish. There is a brief skirmish over a boat, but peace follows when Sinatra, as a drunken Irish medic, sobers up to treat the enemy wounded. "I'm a Band...
