Hefty Barmaid. Freed last spring for good behavior, Hume took bold advantage of the fact that he could not be tried again for the same crime. To the tabloid Sunday Pictorial he brazenly sold for about $10,000 his account of how he murdered Setty (TIME, June 16). He became a freehanded spender in the shadier bars of London's West End, and as before, women proved susceptible to his curly black hair and his blue-eyed, open countenance. A hefty Mayfair barmaid lost her $800 savings to Hume but still loves him; a pretty air hostess at London...
Edward Roscoe Murrow, one of the reportorial heroes of the Battle of Britain and TV's David against Goliath McCarthy, last week found his name linked with what one snickering newspaper called "doves of sin."

As a whole, they make for one of the more captivating aspects of the nation's press. They vary widely in style, from muddy mimeographs to a glossy, three-color quarterly, like the Atlantian at the U.S. penitentiary in Atlanta. Their circulation can be impressive: the biweekly press run of the San Quentin News is 10,000 copies, 1,481 of which go by mail to paid subscribers, including Actor Jack Palance and Society Columnist...
...long to be nice and wholesome--was merry, and so was Edward. Deborah, however, grew lonely despite the company of her children--she wasn't quite as nice and wholesome as she used to be either. She decided that Edward was "extremely cruel," and they split up, and the tabloid editors were again happy, though Edward and Deborah weren...
