...Times posed two flat-footed questions: "What Evening Newspaper Leads the Nation in Total Advertising Linage?" and "What Morning Newspaper Ranks Sixth in the Nation in Total Advertising Linage?"

Herds of venados, er white-tailed deer, bound over the plains, pursued by hungry pumas; 6-ft. iguanas and huge (up to 4 ft. wide) alligators sun themselves along the river banks.

Colorado (pop. 800) is also the site of Costa Rica's biggest attraction for foreign fishermen: the annual Holy Week tarpon-fishing tournament sponsored by San Jose's Club Amateur de Pesca. The 62 entrants in this year's contest came from such chilly climes as Worcester, Mass., and included a group of 17 from Indiana. Flying into San Jose two weeks ago, they boarded buses, rode four hours to Puerto Viejo -the end of the road. There they packed their gear into dugout canoes equipped with outboards, put-putted for another nine hours down the Sarapiqui...
