Sharp, a fast talker, and fancy shooter, he will display the talents that made losers out of Weenie Beanie, Strawberry, and Squirrel. "Chico" gives Harvard and Radcliffe students an opportunity to learn what "The Hustler" was all about...

Tractors pull the piles of carcasses to massive graves, and the pyres of burning animals nightly throw their smoke into the Shropshire sky. Soldiers and airmen have sprayed thousands of gallons of disinfectant on farms...
