...year's end. On top of that, the INS announced last week that it plans to dig a $2 million ditch along a four-mile stretch of border near San Diego, where some 300,000 illegal aliens were apprehended last year. INS officials maintain that the ditch, 5 ft. deep and 14 ft. wide, will frustrate high-speed car dashes across the border, which now average 400 a month, and * also help correct drainage problems in the area. A report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform supported the idea of the ditch. "Locking uninvited gate-crashers out," it said...
...Stockton massacre started a new spiral in America's domestic arms race. All last week California gun shops were jammed with customers, sometimes standing three or four deep at counters, clamoring to buy an imitation AK-47 like the one Purdy used or, failing that, some other semiautomatic paramilitary weapon. (His gun was actually an AKS, a Chinese-made semiautomatic version of the fully automatic Soviet AK-47, though many gun dealers and users call both versions AK-47s.)

Actually, the wording is ambiguous; legal scholars have been quarreling for decades over...
...moon is essentially grey, no color. Looks like plaster of paris, or sort of a greyish deep sand . . . The Sea of Fertility doesn't stand out as well here as it does on earth. There's not as much contrast between that and the surrounding craters. The craters are all rounded off." Astronaut James Lovell skimmed less than 70 miles above the lunar surface as he gave that matter-of- fact first impression of the earth's great, ghostly satellite. Lovell waxed more metaphoric as he described the great blue ball, 233,000 miles away, that he, Frank Borman...
