...started off in the Depression in Bowling Green, Ky., divorced and broke with two kids to feed. It might have been what they used to call the old story-a life of sin and degradation. But Pauline Tabor was smart enough to open up a house of her own. "Pauline's" became a Kentucky institution -politicians went to pleasure themselves there; fraternity boys would beg a pair of panties to take back as campus trophies. More than three decades later, Pauline, married to a successful bookie, retired to a farm to raise organic crops and write her memoirs...
...month ago, two of the Panthers on trial in New York, Michael Tabor and Richard Moore, jumped bail and disappeared. With them went Tabor's wife, Connie Matthews, who had been Newton's secretary. Newton reacted by reading them out of the party as "enemies of the people." Last week Tabor and his wife surfaced in Algeria with Cleaver, and the New York pro-Cleaver faction produced a video tape in which the Tabors joined Kathleen Cleaver in attacking Newton.

Both Tabor, 24, and Moore, 28, had been counted on to attract support-and money-for those still in jail. Their performance failed to live up to expectations. But no one thought that Moore and Tabor would run out. It had seemed that they were...
Expatriation may explain the disappearance of Moore and the Tabor couple. The fact that Connie Matthews held an Algerian passport led to rumors that the trio may have fled to Algiers. There has also been speculation that Moore and Tabor have been killed or kidnaped. If they are still alive, they now occupy a no man's land between the factions, estranged from both the Oakland group and the New Yorkers...
