...Shark! My brother's been bitten by a shark!" a boy yelled as he ran down the beach. Tourists Trina Casagrande and Susanne Werton of St. Louis, Mo., thought it was a prank and kept walking. Then they saw the chaos and the crowd gathered around the unmoving body of a boy, the red muscle of his thigh exposed and looking like a "bite [had been taken] out of a drumstick." The women could not see much blood. Most of it had drained from the boy into the Gulf. Jessie's lips were whiter than his face and body...
...have to get him covered up," Werton told her friend. All they could find were a sheet and beach towels. Werton took over CPR compressions from Vance as Diana blew air into Jessie's mouth. Werton counted to five, then pushed five times, then counted again as Diana blew. His chest rose, so they knew they were getting air into...
Before they landed, the crew of the chopper from Baptist Hospital saw the shark on the beach, its gray body against the white sand. Once the chopper touched down, they discovered that Jessie had basically been drained of blood, the worst situation in a trauma. In such situations, fewer than 1% of victims survive.

But, says Klein, "the arm was too far in the mouth to remove it," particularly with the shark still in violent convulsion. He asked the crowd to step back and shot the shark four times in the head. Then he opened its mouth with the baton, while Tony Thomas, a lifeguard...
...lined lake covering 46 acres at depths of up to 12 ft. It is big enough for water skiing, stocked with catfish and ringed with swaying reeds. And where there is lake, there is lakefront property or in this case, estate lots. "It's just like being on the beach, only we put it in the desert," says Loder. He has sold 32 of the planned 48 lots, priced at $400,000 and up. Other developers are rushing to assemble their own desert-lake parcels...
