...This is Len Bias . . . There's no way he can die. Seriously, sir, please come quick." That was Brian Tribble's desperate plea to a 911 operator as his friend, University of Maryland Basketball Star Len Bias, lay dying of cocaine intoxication in his dormitory on June 19. Last week Tribble surrendered to authorities after a grand jury indicted him on narcotics charges that included possession of cocaine with intent to distribute the drug. Tribble, 24, a former Maryland junior-varsity basketball player, is suspected of providing Bias with the coke that killed...
...have stood the test of unfavorable international economic conditions, halted the process of accumulating debts, preserved the country's solvency, and even slightly improved upon our achievements.

The square-rigged vessel sank in a hurricane in 1622, carrying 260 crew members and passengers, and a priceless cargo, to the bottom. From the tugs, divers employed by Fisher's Treasure Salvors, Inc., have brought to the surface a fortune in emeralds, gold and silver bars, coins, bags of gold dust and lengths of golden chains...
...Florida. Lyon was about to leave for Seville to study Spanish archives, and Fisher enlisted his aid in the search for the galleons. The researcher eventually wrote from Spain that he had good evidence Matecumbe was a general term for the Florida Keys. He suggested that the treasure lay off what are now known as the Marquesas...
