...Castano near the Panama border? Because, he explained, his men had been tracking FARC guerrillas moving out of secret bases deep inside the Panamanian jungle. Last Saturday night a contingent of 300 FARC rebels attacked a Colombian army outpost in the Darien rain forest. Mortars screeched through the mist, and the dark jungle engulfing the army camp was suddenly lit by hundreds of blazing rebel guns. The Colombian army sergeant in charge and his 60 men faced annihilation. In the confusion and crashing grenade explosions, it took the FARC attackers a while to realize that they were suddenly being shot...

But with high-tech industry moving into nearby Roanoke, the Rays have wired the inn to court midweek executives who want to carry on business in a relaxed, picture-perfect setting www.bbhost.com/theoaksinn...

Apparently unconcerned about p.r. or the tender feelings of nonhunters, varminters have a taste for sick humor and grisly imagery. The 54,000-member V.H.A. sells T shirts that feature cartoons of exploding rodents. Its headquarters in Pierre is lined with snapshots of happy hunters and their diminutive kills. There are images of coyotes, badgers, gophers, and one large close-up of a prairie-dog carcass tumbling through...
