...premier art forger before his death in 1976, De Hory fooled even museums with his master-fleeces. Eventually De Hory was so famous that he began signing his "fakes," and many of them have found their way into the hands of John Connally, 66. Now in partnership with Forrest Fenn, owner of a gallery in Santa Fe, N. Mex., the onetime Governor of Texas and presidential hopeful wants to sell off some of his acquisitions. Price: $12,000 to $15,000 apiece. After all, argues Fenn, "If they're as good as real, then what the hell...

Early last week, during the final round of the U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont, Pa., Forrest Fezler ducked into a portable comfort station after finishing the 17th hole and emerged to play the last hole historically (also horrendously) in shorts.

Even some Navy fleet commanders were dismayed by the retirement of five landing-dock ships (four of which had recently...
...there's still Forrest Mars, the confectionary mogul, who reportedly opens up board meetings by leading the assembled executives in prayer: "God bless Mars Bars, God bless Milky Way bars...." If he gets a bright idea, J. Woodland Hastings will wake up in Snickers House...
Engines and tempers ran hot as traffic backed up four miles on Interstate 40 near Forrest City, Ark. Most drivers suspected an accident, but those with CB radios knew better. Up ahead nearly 50 police officers and Murfy, a pot-sniffing dog, were checking out cars in one of the largest roadblocks in recent years. After 22 hours, the team had nailed 489 people on offenses ranging from expired licenses to possession of marijuana. St. Francis County expects to collect $20,000 in fines, and Sheriff Sam Ashworth pronounced the roadblock just about the best thing since sirens for scaring...
