...dowsing going to the dogs? Not at all, bemused residents of Danville report. What was once a local meeting of workaday dowsers has now turned into an autumnal rite as garish as Vermont's fall foliage. In the 18 years since it was founded, Dowsers Inc. has gone subliminal-as well as international. From as far away as Alaska and New Zealand, nearly 600 people have descended upon Danville. Some come to find water, of course. But just as many others are in search of panaceas for depression, mysterious cures for stubborn ailments. Says Society Spokesman Ted Kaufmann...
...What had gone wrong? Unless contrary evidence is found, it appears that the pilots in both planes failed to see each other, despite the puzzling PSA report about "traffic in sight." Investigators have not dismissed the possibility that the 727 sighted a plane other than the one it struck, although a second Cessna some twelve miles away at the time should not have confused the PSA pilots.

...challenge was formidable. For one thing, Davidson was pitted against competitors from a dozen countries who had gone to Lexington's new $35 million Horse Park for the quadrennial Three-Day World Championships, an equestrian event being held in the U.S. for the first time. More important, perhaps, Davidson faced one of the toughest courses ever devised for horse and rider. With roots going back to the bloody cavalry charges and elegant military tattoos of the 18th century, three-day eventing tests the full range of a mount's abilities, from deft, close-quarter maneuvers to a cross-country marathon...
