...only real issue between the two Florida candidates is which one has the most energy. Democrat Richard Stone, 46, gathered no moss when he rolled through the state's 67 counties in a breathtaking 15 days. Republican Jack Eckerd, 61, is almost as fast. In the contest to replace G.O.P.

...April, Freelandia lost its DC-8. Moss contends that he returned it to the owner because it was a lemon, but others say that it was repossessed. Moss now admits that he lied when he claimed he was not into Freelandia for the money. The FAA is challenging Freelandia's certification as an air club allowed to woo passengers by charging low fares. In the courts, Moss's lawyers so far have battled the FAA to a standoff, and he has managed to lease a Convair 880 to replace the DC-8. Though there have been no Freelandia...
