Inflated Appraisals. The original Bellehurst fell victim to sales trouble, financial high jinks and a complex legal battle. Southern California Developer Cliff S. Jones paid $4,530,000 in 1956 for a hog farm on the border of Los Angeles and Orange Counties and laid grand plans for wrapping his 906-acre community around a 27-hole golf course. Los Coyotes Country Club was quickly completed, but a five-month plasterers' strike left Jones with house after unfinished house he could not sell. After the strike was settled, Jones was unable to resume construction. The Federal Home Loan Bank...

So USAID people have printed little 'cookbooks' on 'good eating' with bulgar wheat. The refugees still don't like it and want their rice ration back...
...against Mississippi State. One night last week against Georgia, he rattled off 42 points, including two last-second foul shots that gave L.S.U. a 79-76 victory. A few nights later, he dropped in 52 as L.S.U. trounced Tulane 100 to 91. Not that Pete is a ball hog. He is enough of a team player to lead the squad in both assists (61) and rebounds (104). But, as his father says, "He's got to put it up there for us to go anywhere. I'll kill him if he doesn't shoot...
