body had .been brutally shot down in
a hold-up. A bold headline featured
the latest divorce scandal, and a "my-

had offered a reward for it. A brief
two inches of type said that the man
found badly wounded in the outskirts
of Ventura had been identified, but
refused to name his assailant. A
screen luminary had just received his
final decree of divorce.
