...tire, and had never cowboyed. Mary Caldwell, sixtyish, has whittled a piece of wood into a horse during the week, and says she does all the riding on her ranch while her husband stays at home. Savory's Center for Holistic Resource Management also works with the U.N., the Navajo nation, the countries of Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico, Zimbabwe and Algeria and, over a crisis hot line, a group of farmers in Texas...

For six hours each day, the octogenarian Campbell sits cross-legged on the floor and improvises passionate lectures about Navajo paintings, the dangers of spiritual feudalism and why Hindu elephants are "clouds condemned to earth."

In the bright central Texas sky near Brownwood, two unarmed Air Force Phantom F-4 jets crashed while engaged in what the military called a "defensive-maneuver training mission." The crash left debris that stretched for five miles. Two men died, and two parachuted to safety. Finally, over Westerly, R.I., a Piper Cherokee and a Piper Archer, both single-engine, general-aviation aircraft...
