WHAT'S NEW/by William Arnold

D.B. Cooper

The word is out that the identity of the nation's most legendary sky bandit has finally been discovered. A CBS "60 Minutes" reporter was in town recently interviewing witnesses to the 1970 skyjack and has got some positive identifications. The story that has leaked out is that the mysterious Mr. Cooper was a Northwest native who died a year or so ago of natural causes. Apparently a friend of the bandit tried to sell the story to a Hollywood producer, who in turn tipped CBS. Remember, you read it here first.
