Bruce McIntyre led the Leopard locomotive with 105 yards rushing--including scoring runs of one and eight yards...

The solution was for the Soviet consul in the area to buy a yacht and have its engine taken out and replaced with the Leopard's engine.

In interviews with journalists, Suarez has boasted that he has hired Libyan "experts" to train his security force and that his ranchland retreats are defended by missile-carrying aircraft. He also likes to buy newspaper space to lecture his countrymen on the corruption in their government...
