Male or female, Scouts are Scouts. Boy Scouts, some 25,000 strong at their National Jamboree in Washington (TIME, July 12), spent their happiest hours swapping horned toads, pickled scorpions, live hoot owls-everything but puppy dog tails.

Pinned within it were four seriously injured survivors. The fifth survivor-a ten-year-old boy-was thrown free, escaped with bruises. Captain Dietz, also thrown free, was decapitated. The co-pilot and two passengers likewise met instant death...
...said, 'You little sookin sin' (son-of-a-bitch), and something about piglets being money and babies a devil's own nuisance." The next thing Ivan remembered was his mother killing his father with an ax. And after that he was made page boy to a nobleman, because he fidgeted shyly when the nobleman's daughter Nina kissed him, he remembered her saying: "You stupid little page boy, if your eyes weren't so blue I should ask my father to kill you and cook your flesh in a pot and give...
