Devastated by this news, the parents reviewed oddities surrounding their daughter's birth at Hardee Memorial Hospital in Wauchula, Fla., on Dec. 2, 1978. After delivery, their pink-cheeked infant scored a perfect 10 on the Apgar health rating. Nevertheless the baby the Twiggs took home suffered from a heart abnormality. The child's weight was allegedly changed from 8 lbs. 6 oz. to 6 lbs. on the birth certificate, which also recorded Arlena's blood type as O. A battery of genetic tests proved that the child the Twiggs had raised for ten years could not have been their...
...hair. At Miari Texas (the name for the red-light district in the Miari area) rows upon rows of open-fronted stores, as many as 200 in all, are lined up along a busy main road. All of them are blindingly lighted and decorated in nouveau Vegas style -- frilly pink rooms smothered in mirrors, watercolors, fish tanks and color-coordinated teddy bears.

Three times he has been champion of the open class of radio-controlled aerobatic flying. That means he has beaten all comers with his skill and his pink-and-blue Conquest, driven by an alcohol-fueled engine the size of a human fist. He must practice continuously to keep up his skill, sometimes four days a week for an hour or two each session. His prowess has won him trips to a competition in France, where he placed...
...lighten the mood, by ones and threes the spryest fans took slides on the tarp, ultimately including a pretty girl in a pink dress. Making a case for lenient court fines, four Cubs took flying dives on their own stomachs, including the pitcher Les Lancaster, who happens to be on the disabled list after an appendectomy. It's actually a promising young team, and if Chicago does play better over the next couple of summers, people will say it was the cooler August nights, and maybe they will be right...
