Bolan Killed In London Car Crash After Comeback
British rock singer Marc Bolan died in a London crash when a car driven by Gloria Jones struck a tree. Jones, 30, was injured and hospitalized. Bolan, once a teen idol who battled addiction, had recently returned from the Bahamas and launched a children's TV show. He had warned of his drug and alcohol problems and sought a lifestyle change amid pressure to remain a teen icon. Also in brief, G Gordon Liddy's daughter says her father committed a crime but did not deserve prison, claiming he followed orders.
