Hair Curlers? When Santa Fe Industries gets rolling, railroading will become an increasingly smaller part of the whole operation. Santa Fe, through subsidiaries, is already active in real estate, oil production, pipelines, plywood manufacture and even air freight. And as Reed is fond of pointing out, the line's most profitable venture on the basis of return on investment is the Golden Gate Fields race track outside San Francisco, where Santa Fe as the property owner receives both rents and a share of the parimutuels. With such operations as a base, Santa Fe Industries will be willing...
N.R.A. is fond of quoting the second half of the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights, but not the first. The full amendment reads: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The last thing Victor Esch Jr., 10, does before he goes to bed in Potomac, Md., is shine a spotlight out of the window to be sure his pony Misty is all right.

When Sue Ann Meyer returned home from camp to her parents in Lincoln, Mass...
...distinguished Marine career is coming to an end. At 5 ft. 4¾ in. and 134 lbs., Lieut. General Victor H. Krulak, 55, hardly seems the sort to be nicknamed "the Brute." But that's the handle; it's fond and it fits. Strong and scrappy as a wire-haired terrier, Krulak was commissioned in 1934, won a Navy Cross (second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor) in the Solomon Islands in 1943, became one of the youngest generals in Marine history at the age of 43 in 1956, and helped to map U.S. strategy in Viet...
