Cincinnati police were convinced that one man had committed all four murders. But all they knew was that he is probably a Negro (negroid hair was found on one victim), that he has O-type blood (determined through tests on the rapist's semen), and that he may drive a bronze and cream 1959 Chevrolet (which was spotted near the areas where Mrs. Hochhausler and Mrs. Messer were killed). Understandably, jittery Cincinnati was beginning to wonder if it is in for a reign of terror like the killing spree that had Boston women besieged for two years...

The Red Chinese embassy in Bern has put away such art treasures as the horse statuette from the Tang period, which once was proudly shown to Swiss visitors as a masterpiece of Chinese culture. In the trade exposition in Algiers, guests now are confronted with patriotic placards: "Long live the Great Proletarian Cultural...
...computer in his bedroom. In his house outside Los Angeles, he has installed a Teletype-like machine that is wired into a central computer, which Foy must share with up to 350 other users. For five hours each month, at a rental of $160 monthly, he can type problems into the machine and get instant solutions. Besides using it in his work and to help design his own hydrofoil boat, Foy will rent out computer time to his two grade-school children to assist them with homework. For each three minutes of computer time, Daddy will dock their allowances...
