Mobs of Honduran hoodlums terrorized Salvadoran settlers by setting fire to their houses if they failed to heed warnings to leave. Salvadorans wrote to relatives at home telling of murder and rape by Honduras toughs. More than 11,000 Salvadorans fled Honduras, and frequent small clashes took place along the border...
Johnson State Park along the Pedernales in Texas boasts an impressive heed of 40 white-tailed deer, plus quite a few rabbits, ground squirrels and other rodents. But it has been woefully short in the buffalo department, with only one bull and four cows.

Busch will hardly miss the beasts; he still has 37 of them...

The Nixon ladies then returned to Washington, but not for long. Pat leaves on a three-day trip to California and the Pacific Northwest this week...
...down Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and Oregon in search for the feeding grounds of Nabokov's beloved "blues." Between butterflies, Vladimir sat beside Vera jotting on 3 by 5 cards. His notes were about a man named Humbert Humbert. General Motors, so far as anyone knows, has paid scant heed to the historic fact that much of Lolita was written in a '52 Buick...
