...Deanna Hanbey, 28, of South Bend, Ind., wife of a traveling auditor, had grown despondent over her husband's absences and over the task of caring for her four children-two-year-old twin boys, a girl, 6, and a boy, 7. A woman friend found Mrs. Hanbey and the children in the bedrooms: the youngsters had been strangled to death with nylon stockings and a necktie; Mrs. Hanbey had tried to strangle herself, to cut her wrists and ankles, and to set fire to the house.

Lincoln has a windshield that pops out on impact...

Last week Bertram was back with a brand-new, 38-ft. "heavy weather" boat powered by twin 550-h.p. General Motors diesels. But where was the weather? The 183-mile stretch between Miami and Nassau was as calm as a Palm Beach swimming pool. "Any ski boat could win this race," sneered one disgruntled skipper as 46 competitors lined up for the start...
