The morning after Jordan was shot, Allen County deputy sheriffs arrested Douglas for operating a motorcycle while drunk and confiscated three unloaded rifles, including a Remington .30-06, that were tied to his motorcycle.

Hundreds of small earthquakes shook the Sierra Nevada in central California, causing landslides and some injuries.

Schools, factories and most stores and offices closed. Highways were closed and airports were...

Nonetheless, the Soviets have not yet pacified the forbidding, mountainous country.
