Last year Tokyo recorded about 5,000 complaints of dog bites from newsboys, mailmen, salesmen and bill collectors. New York's bite toll hit 25,000. Britons are so worried about rabies that they have barred all dogs and cats from entering the country. The isolation period for the pets now in quarantine under old laws has been extended from six months to a year. Rabies...

"All I Have to Do Is Dream." etc. Some of the cool ones got up and rocked, but Flex took a bite out of his red hot and looked straight ahead. He wasn't lookin' for trouble, but he wasn't looking to avoid it, neither. He just wanted...
