Across the continent in Hyannis, Mass., Denny's Restaurant closed before the start of what should have been its peak season. It needed at least 70 employees to serve the summer crowds flocking to Cape Cod, but was able to hire only 13. A nearby Stop & Shop Supermarket found six cashiers only by recruiting in New Bedford, Mass., 40 miles away. The store will send a van to pick up the six every morning and drive them back at night, and the company will pay the employees time and a half for their two hours of daily travel...
Just six inches from tip to tail, the tiny brown birds made their home in a ten-mile coastal stretch of marsh near Titusville, Fla. When development from nearby Cape Canaveral began to encroach, they stubbornly refused to move, and their numbers declined relentlessly. Last week the last known Dusky Seaside Sparrow expired: Orange Band, a twelve-year-old male, was found dead in its + cage...
...been 14 years since marine archaeologists rediscovered the U.S.S. Monitor, the Civil War ironclad that sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras, N.C., ten months after the historic 1862 standoff with its Confederate counterpart, the C.S.S.

...given to changing his mind, so his listeners did not expect any surprises last week when the South African State President addressed the opening session of Parliament. Walking behind the sergeant at arms carrying the ceremonial mace, Botha entered the whites-only House of Assembly in Cape Town and faced the newly elected members sitting on green leather benches. In his schoolmasterish, staccato delivery, he told them that his government stood firmly on the principle of politics by segregated racial groups and that those who disapproved would not be permitted to use violence or otherwise break the law. Declared Botha...
...surprise me, however, that there is something called the New South Wales Police News. It was surprising to find that this publication can be unearthed somewhere in the confines of the Harvard Law Library. The same goes for the annual reports of the Law Society of the Cape of Good Hope and the Law Society of Prince Edward Island. Even more surprising is the ready accessibility of McDonald's Licensing Laws for New South Wales to anybody with a Harvard I.D. If you are planning to open a Burger King or Wendy's franchise in New South Wales, however...
