But sometimes the visitor asks the question Haggerty doesn't want to hear: where's the outdoor track? Haggerty usually just says "It's in the Stadium."

The CIA is expanding its program to supply arms to rebels fighting the Soviet Union puppet regime in Afghanistan (see box). According to intelligence analysts, the U.S. is believed to be helping Libyan dissidents forge an opposition to Dictator Muamar Gaddafi and is suspected of circumventing the ban on covert operations in Angola in order to keep alive the anti-Communist insurgency there...
