...closed Highway 4 from Paksane to Xieng Khouang and Highway 7 across the Plain of Jars. Highway 13 between Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang is so unsafe that government traffic can move only in armed convoys. South of Vientiane, Pathet Lao patrols, supported by the air force's nine T-28 fighter-bombers, manage to keep Highway 13 and Route 8 open during the day, but the Meo have full control after dark. In the south, at least 1,500 Royal Laotian army veterans and disgruntled peasants are carrying on another guerrilla war. "Our rural population is almost completely...
...ultimate weapon of any hunt in the wilderness is, of course, the bloodhound. Sammy Joe Chapman, chief supervisor of the Brushy Mountain prison kennels, had only two fully trained hounds available for the forest searches: Sandy and Little Red. The other nine were still in training. Consequently the FBI brought in its own pack of bloodhounds.

This was the best Sun Devil club since the National Champs of 1965, which boasted Rick Monday, Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson in its lineup. The 1977 version was a star-studded lineup even without the services of first baseman Mike Hudgens, the nation's number two RBI man with 72. Hudgens was unavailable as a result of a virtual coach's nightmare; he lost concentration while playing catch, and the ball shattered his nose...
Green had to nurse his stroke lead through the harrowing four concluding holes after learning of the possible assassination attempt. After a relatively nondescript front nine in which he birdied the third and fourth holes but bogeyed the ninth with a wayward chip, he buckled down to withstand the onslaughts on par by Graham and third-place finisher Tom Weiskopf...
