Black Panther Robert Webb, 22, moved from San Francisco to New York about a year ago. In the growing Panther schism between supporters of Huey Newton, the party's Oakland-based minister of defense, and Eldridge Cleaver, now exiled in Algiers, Webb sided with Cleaver. Last week Webb and two friends were walking along a Harlem street when they encountered several other blacks who were selling the party newspaper; since the publication is Newton-controlled, the Cleaver wing has proscribed it.

Major in Real Estate. Immodesty becomes few men as well as it does Zeckendorf. Apart from the tangle of overextensions and bad luck that resulted in the collapse of Webb & Knapp in 1965, Zeckendorf seems to have little to be modest about. The son of a Long Island shoe manufacturer, he dropped out of high school, but entered college after attending a cram school and completing 16 regents' exams in one week. In 1925, after three years of parties and football, he dropped college to major in real estate...
