...Chris Riga provide experienced size. Better against the pass than the run. SECONDARY: Starters Cecil Cox and Ken Tarczy return from last year's squad, but this year might spend more time defensing the run than the pass.

Some of those compounds seeped upward into porous rocks and sediments, says Gold, and became such accessible pockets of riches as the oil fields of the Arabian Peninsula. He predicts that if greater depths were mined, fuel reserves far beyond current estimates would be found...

To hasten that hour along, the Soviets shipped Nicaragua 15,000 tons of arms last year, while the Cubans stand near by with 153,000 troops. The borders of every country in the region are porous. Honduras, flanked by El Salvador and Nicaragua, is already jittery, as is Costa Rica, which has no army of its own. Guatemala, however, has a 22,000-man army and 20 years of experience in often brutal counterinsurgency. The crucial question is what would happen to Mexico...
