Gunning the engine, Laurel races down the rutted track. Even before the truck comes to a halt, Trevino is out and running. Suddenly shots are fired, and bullets buzz overhead. Muffled shouts and the sounds of breaking branches come from a thicket of mesquite. Then more shots, this time a short burst from an automatic weapon. A handgun replies purposefully. The shooting stops as abruptly as it started...
Though the survey was taken just after the New Hampshire primary, when Dole received bad reviews for his harsh comments about Bush, the public seems to have paid little attention to that part of the media buzz. When all registered voters are asked whether they consider either Bush or Dole "too quick- tempered to be President," 43% say neither, 15% name Bush and 12% Dole.

...other hand, said Havel, "in our situation any change is good." Jakes's pro-Soviet credentials suggest that he may be at least somewhat more amenable to Gorbachev's demands for reform than Husak was.

Between the restricted zones are several corridors where aircraft can ferry tourists. The plan also bans flights below the canyon...
Once a placid repository, the office is soon expected to buzz with activity. The sole security guard will be joined by other watchmen. Offices are being spruced up, and five new microfilm readers are being installed. The cause of the upheaval is a yellowing collection of World War II dossiers that contain depositions, unproven allegations and intelligence reports on thousands of suspected and known German, Austrian, East European and Japanese war criminals. This week, after decades of neglect and limited access, the records will be made available to accredited scholars, researchers and journalists.
