...dawn one day last week two Australian drug runners, Brian Chambers, 29, and Kevin Barlow, 28, were hanged at Pudu Prison in Kuala Lumpur. Although they were the first non-Asians to be sent to the gallows under Malaysia's harsh narcotics laws, 36 other drug traffickers have been executed since a 1983 amendment imposed the mandatory death penalty for the possession of more than 15 grams of heroin. When Chambers and Barlow were arrested in November 1983, they were carrying nearly 180 grams...
...last week the U.S. and the E.C. proclaimed a cease-fire just before the first shot. On a TWA flight from Washington that arrived at dawn in Paris, U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter struck a last-minute deal with top E.C. officials. While the Community did not revoke Spain's new tariffs, it promised to take away their sting. The E.C. pledged that Spain would not reduce its imports of agricultural goods this year. The Portuguese measures, in any case, were not expected to have an impact until 1987. Satisfied that American farmers will not suffer any immediate losses, Washington...
...dawn of the papacy, Kelly repeatedly confesses, is too shadowy for even the most intrepid scholar. Of St. Evaristus (c.100-c.109), for example, he says, "Nothing is in fact reliably known about him." St. Felix I (269-74) "is one of the obscurest Popes, even his dates being conjectural." Then there was Pope Joan, whose entire existence is conjectural. Kelly dutifully traces the oftretold legend of a disguised woman Pope (who was found out when she gave birth while trying to mount a horse) to a 13th century work called the Universal Chronicle of Metz. The only Pope who never existed...
Locally they are known as "scraphogs," and a few wear T shirts with a cartoon of a wild boar grinding a bomb in its teeth. Just after dawn each day, about 40 gather at the hillside, pick up pails and sift through the dirt and sagebrush for rusted metal and twisted steel. They occasionally dig up the nozzle of a Polaris missile or the casing of a 1,000-lb. bomb. Under the pitiless Nevada sun, each averages 1,000 lbs. of scrap metal a day. "It's rough work," says Billy Marshall of Hawthorne, Nev. "When I started, young...
...spend their spare time doing, stop by the Harvard University Press Display Room (Holyoke Center). There you can find the latest published by guess who. Right next door, The Thomas More Book Shop (Holyoke Center) stocks religious texts. For less classical religious titles, Shambhala Booksellers (58 JFK St.) the Dawn Horse Bookstore (99 Mt. Auburn St.) and Sky Light Books (111 Mt. Auburn St.) have sixties-style spirituality and occult titles. These stores provide electronic music and incense to enhance the browsing atmosphere...
