The committee revealed three names on the eclectic list: Biologist Linus Pauling, the left-leaning Nobel laureate; Labor Leader Victor Reuther; and John Steinbeck, the late novelist...
...minute after sunrise, the police break into the apartment. Empty. But there is unexpected evidence, including sets of handcuffs, suggesting that the suspects were involved in three recent bank robberies in Brooklyn and Manhattan-which may explain why the gunman panicked and shot the officers. The police now watch Segarra's known haunts. A detective spots him in a public market but cannot shoot; the area is too crowded. The man escapes...
