Last week Donald Melvin Boggs, the studious-looking ex-convict, and Radcliff, his willowy, olive-skinned girl friend, were arrested in Flagstaff, Ariz., where he was charged with a six-day, three-state crime wave in which four men were bludgeoned and shot to death...

These needle-sharp political gibes are the work of James O. Berry, 32, whose cartoon feature, Berry...
...recent Saturday evening in Manhattan, a slight, studious-looking man mixed among the Broadway crowds and occasionally buttonholed a theatergoer to ask his feeling about the state of business.
