Richard Verbic of Elgin, Ill., a dentist, boasts of completing an other kind of bridge - a $1.2 million span over the Fox River, which the town needed for 20 years. Richard Baker is proud of having brought the Little League World Series to Newark for the third year running; no other town in the country can match that claim.

The birds were peregrine falcons, and the news was that the Interior Department is going to shelter four of them at its Washington headquarters as a start toward bringing falcons back to the U.S. East Coast, where they were once numerous.
