Snipers All Around. Caamaño and his rebels might be bluffing. But the sniping continued unabated, raising U.S. casualties to 18 dead, 86 wounded. The U.S. reported 137 cease-fire violations to the OAS in nine days, 36 of them in a single night. Despite the lasso around the rebel sector, snipers were popping up all over Santo Domingo. "This is what we feared most," said one U.S. official, "that the hard-core people would somehow get out of the city." One afternoon, a band of rebels fought a four-hour battle with loyalist troops at the national cemetery...

...trip is finished, sober old Vermont turns into a landscape by Salvador Dali. First off, the boys light up a 12-ft. stack of logs-to boil a can of soup. Then they go jeeping across an open field in pursuit of a terrified farmer-whom they try to lasso.

Mongols are born to the saddle, lasso their horses with nooses at the end of long poles, make a strong wine from fermented cow's milk and feast on such dainties as yak butter delicately flavored with yak urine, and sheep intestines stuffed with dried blood.

After the first four calves, only one-tenth of a second separated the two sweating cowboys. Then Altizer's fifth calf fell when it was lassoed. Roping rules require that a calf be brought up to its feet again and thrown by hand. It took Altizer 21.5 sec. to do the job. Oliver spurted into a 7-sec. lead. Doggedly, Altizer cut the lead to 2.9 sec.-but now he was pressing. He missed on his first attempt to lasso his ninth calf, had to whip out a reserve lariat and chase the calf again, lost a few precious...
