...sunk into dreary ruin. Some 275 families lived in Bellehurst, but among their luxurious (up to $55,000) ranch homes stood the vandal-and weather-ravaged remains of another 450 abandoned houses, many only half-built. During eight years of neglect, streets caved in; tumbleweed rolled across once well-kept lawns and against the legs of curious sightseers. Golfers at Bellehurst's Los Coyotes Country Club were forced to climb over rotting piles of lumber and weed-cracked concrete slabs when they tracked errant drives into the rough...
...telephone strike -first in 21 years-moved into its third week, it had produced little more than some annoying static in phone service. Beyond a rash of minor sabotage that damaged cables and equipment, the only major effect was a suspension of new phone installations as Bell System companies kept skeleton repair crews close to central offices.

He mocked this hunger for accomplishment in a book, written between hunt-club meets, called Burke's Steerage, or the Amateur Gentleman's Introduction to Noble Sports and Pastimes. White was not very good at falconry (goshawks and merlins kept getting away), but it became his passion; it had the advantage of belonging to the boyhood of history. Later, for perhaps the very same reason, he threw himself into the study of Gaelic, spent years translating a 12th century Latin bestiary, and became an armchair authority on the Emperor Hadrian...
Haggerty pulled into coach Bill McCurdy's office yesterday for treatment. McCurdy called in the team physician, but Haggerty's condition is still doubtful after an afternoon of conditioning. The bruise kept him out of Wednesday's Greater Boston Championships...
