...Puerto Rico (see SPORT). In some cases, the U.S. effort has not been as effective or as widely noticed as it might be. While a 185-man Army medical team from the 21st Evacuation Hospital based in Fort Hood, Texas, operated in a barbed-wire-enclosed compound in a meadow in front of Somoza's El Retiro residence, a team of 50 Cuban doctors and paramedics worked in the densely populated Managua barrio of Máximo Jérez. The result was that while U.S. medics were seeing 250 patients per day, Cubans were treating about...
Died. Christopher T. Chenery, 86, Virginia gentleman and horse breeder who in 1936 built the Meadow Stables in Doswell, Va., training ground for a long line of champion thoroughbreds that included Riva Ridge, winner of last year's Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, and Secretariat, Horse of the Year in 1972; in New Rochelle...
...least flavorsome was a sylvan place called Whorehouse Meadows, outside of Ontario, Ore. The meadow was named, with admirable directness, for some local women who once profitably entertained sheepherders there.

Lazing in a field are clusters of young longhairs, some of them students, some wanderers from other nations. They all speak the same language: guitar and hash. Elector Karl Theodor designed this park in 1789. It was not Karl Theodor who inscribed...
...party was generally light. When Nixon asked 82-year-old W.W. McAllister, former mayor of San Antonio, his secret of youth, the peppery McAllister replied: "If I knew that I'd keep it to myself and sell it." The Nixons and the Connallys moved out to an open meadow to watch the show every visitor to Texas must eventually see: a demonstration of quarter-horse agility. The President timidly patted one of the animals and admitted: "I've never been on a horse." Nellie Connally took the President's hand and said: "I haven't either...
