...plans other than turning the farm into "the showplace of the South," to supply high-quality food to Muslim restaurants and markets in several northern cities. The modern, $750,000 farm, with its own meatpacking and vegetable-canning operations, will provide 150 badly needed jobs for black and white local residents, add taxes to the county's income, and boost the business of local suppliers. But whites, remembering the fire-eating rhetoric of Malcolm X and the violence that has on occasion erupted among Muslims, remain unconvinced...

But there was little doubt of Muslim involvement in July, when Wyatt and a local dentist, Dr. Robert McClung, sold the Muslims an additional 541-acre parcel for a quick $20,000 profit.

After graduating, he headed straight for the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. The result was a competent but totally obscure repertory actor who lived a stereotyped hand-to-mouth existence, once in a basement for $2 a week. "It was an excellent deal," Sutherland told TIME Correspondent Jon Larsen. "I lived right next to the hot-water heater and was warmer than anyone else...
