...might have come out of Steve Canyon. They keep their rendezvous over martinis in the swank Clipper Club at Miami Airport or at Murray's Mau Mau Lounge in the Green Mansions Hotel, make as much as $5,000 for a Cuba flight. Typical is Arkansas-born Jack Youngblood, 29. He once flew for Castro, now claims that an anti-Castro group owes him $16,000. Romantically fond of danger, girls and uncomplicated poetry, Youngblood says: "I have no loyalties. I just work for money." Can the U.S. stop these mercenaries? The border patrol last week brought...
...cool green depths of Upper Michigan's 800,000-acre Hiawatha National Forest, amid the fragrance of sweet fern and venerable hemlock, U.S. Forest Ranger Edwin Youngblood, 38, eased his pickup truck along a sand-soft logging road one day last week. He sang out a warning to a gang of pulp cutters to take only the jack pine that rangers had paint-striped for cutting, told them to heave dead branches 50 feet back from the roadway, out of cigarette-throw range...
...Government feared by criminals throughout the land. As 1934 began John Dillinger was leading as ruthless a gang of desperadoes as the Midwest had ever known.

That chapter began on March 3 when, with a wooden gun, John Dillinger bluffed his way out of jail at Crown Point, escaped in the woman sheriff's car, taking a negro murderer named Herbert Youngblood with him. (At Port Huron, Mich. Fugitive Youngblood fatally wounded a sheriff before he himself was killed.) From Crown Point in seven weeks Dillinger's bullet-strewn trail wound and rewound through half a dozen states (see map). He arrived in St. Paul with a shoulder wound, got a city health...
With the way to freedom wide open Dillinger invited fellow prisoners to take it with him. "Go to hell! I wouldn't walk two feet with you," replied his cellmate. Herbert Youngblood, a Negro in for murder, alone accepted. They selected two machine guns from the jail arsenal, and, taking Deputy Ernest Blunk as hostage, went to the jail garage. They could not start the two cars there. Dillinger tore out ignition wires. Once over an eight foot wall, with Blunk between them, Dillinger and Youngblood made their way to a garage whose owner was foreman of the Grand...
