Investigators believe that a day later Mengel abducted Beverly Capone, a 44- year-old mother, as she was leaving her job as a data processor at an IBM facility nearby. Using Capone's car as his getaway vehicle, Mengel headed for the Canadian border. Six days after the police officer was slain, authorities caught up with Mengel in Toronto, where he was arrested after crashing the car into a wall in a final attempt to escape. Inside, they found a gruesome clue to how Mengel may have crossed the border despite the bulletins for his arrest. A woman's scalp...

Last week, after drug traffickers threatened to kidnap and kill a Customs officer, U.S. border agents packed .357 Magnum revolvers and carried shotguns on duty. Nine remote stations were closed, hurting business in border towns from California to Texas. At week's end only two had been reopened...
Right now, U.S. and Mexican law enforcers are clearly losing the fight to break up the drug trade south of the border. One night last week, four Mexican police officers and a civilian were shot dead trying to stop a tanker truck loaded with marijuana from going through a Customs post near San Fernando, Mexico, about 90 miles from the Texas border at Brownsville. The cargo and three suspects were finally seized 25 miles south of the border city of Reynosa, Mexico, but the original drivers had escaped. In his press conference last week, Ambassador Gavin quoted Mexican President Miguel...
