There were dog-eared screen magazines, antique baseball cards, some Beatles T shirts-and one genuine prewar space hero at New York's Second Annual Nostalgia Convention. Buster Crabbe, better known as fearless Flash Gordon since he filmed the 40 or so movie-serial episodes in the 1930s, was the top attraction at the three-day gathering of memorabilia hounds.

...brutal beatings around the head. The police began broadcasting descriptions of the five bodies to enforcement authorities along the East Coast; for almost a week they received no help. Meantime the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation managed to trace the shovel found at the murder scene by its serial number to the store where it had been bought-Poch Hardware in Potomac, Md. A flyer was left in the store with pictures of the bodies...
