Record Arrests. According to John T. Cusack, chief U.S. narcotics agent in Europe, it was the largest single haul ever made of U.S.-bound hashish. American agents had been closely on the trail of this particular drug ring for several months. In a second coup, U.S. agents two weeks ago helped to break up the largest smuggling operation on record. Acting on American-supplied information, French and Swiss agents arrested two of the ring's three members in Nice and Geneva. Since 1965 the smugglers had slipped an estimated $500 million a year in heroin into...
Whither a Supreme Court judge goes, so goes his justice-even on a summer vacation. Last week two lawyers and a law clerk hiked six miles up a mountain trail in central Washington to where William O. Douglas was camping. They presented him with a petition requesting a temporary injunction against the Portland police. The iconoclastic judge told them to come back the next day, promising to leave his decision on a tree stump.

Last week there were reports that a sizable force of ARVN troops and U.S. helicopters had been assembled near Kham Duc, a long-abandoned Special Forces camp near the Laotian border. But U.S. commanders insist that there are no plans for a Cambodia-style lunge into Laos...
...sometimes difficult from that vantage to determine what he has more of-acres or subplots. His niece Sallie (Pamela McMyler)-his brother's girl, daughter of the woman the Duke himself loved and lost-has come to stay. She has been seeing a good deal of that young trail hand from over at the Tunstall place, boy name of Billy Bonney (Geoffrey Deuel). Billy's rival of legend, a onetime buffalo hunter who calls himself Pat Garrett (Glenn Corbett), turns up one night, and that just sets things to steaming. Add an itchy killer for hire (Chris George...
