A long-time aide says Hughes drafted a 1965 will leaving much to the Hughes Medical Foundation, but the box reportedly held only jewelry. County officials plan to pursue control of the empire if no valid will surfaces.

1974 Divorce Rate Tops Previous Peak
The National Center for Health Statistics reports 19.3 per 1000 divorced women aged 15 and older in 1974, the highest rate since World War II.

Separately, the Weather Service forecasts fair days in New England with possible Sunday showers and 60s to 70s highs.
