Oscar Wilde once called it "the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable." Nationwide polls show that half of the British population would like the sport banned. Yet never has fox hunting had such an avid and devoted horde of admirers. From the vast, hilly estates of Leicestershire to the pit-scarred mining fields of Wales, the peremptory piping of the hunter's horn and cries of "Yu-rt, my lassies, Yu-rt" were everywhere last week. As the annual season began, dukes and duchesses, and workingmen as well, were galloping after the fox. So many thousands of others...
...really ambitious candidate could receive almost as much publicity as the office-holder who defeated him by visiting radio and TV stations, and newspapers across the state during the hunt for delegates' votes. Of course, after the June convention comes the September primary, but rejection of the convention nominee is rare.

Before it is over, Africa will have gone through the biggest big game hunt in its history. Already Uganda has "cropped" 4,000 hippo and nearly 2,000 elephants.

Mexican police immediately began a massive man hunt for all Americans who had crossed the border at Laredo on Oct. 12. In a dusty village 130 miles northwest of the murder scene, they picked up Simmons-and immediately freed him as the wrong...
Battling against the odds to keep Intra together, Bedas' directors last week petitioned a Lebanese court for three years' grace to repay their depositors without forced liquidation of assets. Bedas himself began a desperate hunt in New York for enough cash to keep control. Scenting the possibilities of snagging valuable property at distress prices, the Soviet Union turned bargain hunter, sent out feelers but backed away at the hefty asking price. U.S. Shipping Tycoon Daniel K. Ludwig, who recently tried unsuccessfully to merge his tiny Lebanese International Airways with Bedas' bigger line, expressed interest in buying stock...
