I released Sheik Mujibur Rahman hoping something like that would happen, but it went down the drain. We released the nightingale from the cage and nothing happened. Once bitten, twice shy. I believe, however, that the stalemate will be broken after the elections [in Bangladesh next month] and the framing of a new constitution in Pakistan.

What was even more unusual, however, was the age of those involved in the case: the slayers were only five and two years old, and their victim was an eight-month-old infant...
Tree and edible plant identification has been replaced by a section on recognizing dangerous and illegal drugs. There is a picture of a Scout using a Geiger counter. Treatment for snakebite is still discussed, but the text also offers advice on what to do if bitten by such urban wildlife as slum rats. ("Be sure that the animal's saliva is all washed away . . .
