UN envoy named in payoff case to Jamaica
A U S envoy tied to a paid 25 000 check and four more 25 000 payments to Jamaican officials is identified as DeRoulet, a California broker killed last year. The funds allegedly supported a Jamaican educational fund, denied by a securities filing which questioned the fund’s existence. DeRoulet’s firing followed a 1970s controversy over alleged American interference in Jamaica’s elections. Manley demanded his dismissal, which the State Department granted after testimony.

Misadventure sails a tale as Ogg reports grand theft
Ogg William C. Og, 92, of Detroit, told Lennox deputies a wild story of stealing a sailboat at Marina del Rey, drifting to Santa Catalina, then Hawaii, and being picked up by a Norwegian freighter off Mexico. He flew to Los Angeles, returned to the dock with receipts, and was booked on suspicion of grand theft, though the district attorney said the tale lacked substance for charges.
