...captured, and shipped to America in a cage. Many of his opponents wished he had remained therein. Abdullah has been photographed attacking his adversaries with the severed leg of a sheep, with metal pipes he must have ripped out of the walls of stadium lavoratories, and with fruit canning equipment; at one match, angered by the disparaging remarks of fans who questioned his sportsmanship, he decided to inflict terror on his audience by perpetrating random violence, and deliberately crippled a sixty-four year-old veteran in a four-dollar seat. This man knows no mercy--he can't even speak...

...alike turned lawns into miniature back forties, filled patios with planters (often made with old washtubs or auto tires), and deluged seed companies with orders. Manufacturers of fertilizer and tools chalked up record sales, and many are predicting even headier harvests in 1975.
