Facing charges of parole violation and assault with intent to commit murder, stemming from a 1968 Shootout with police in Oakland, Calif., Cleaver was immediately arrested by FBI agents and flown to San Diego. "It's a new situation now. Black people have undergone a fundamental change for the better," said the author (Soul on Ice) and former Panther Information Minister...
Heir Apparent. In the National League, the Reds v. Pirates promises to be an artillery Shootout. Cincinnati will roll out Siege Guns Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, each of whom has pounded home more than 100 runs this season.

...most of Lebanon from the country's largest refinery. Some scenes-the sight of Cardin-clad gentlemen siphoning off other people's tanks, for instance-would have been hilarious except for the potential violence. Sure enough, fistfights and near riots eventually erupted. There was a shootout between a gas station owner and a group of armed right-wing Christian Phalangists over fuel allocations; one man was killed, two more were wounded-and even more guns came out all over town...
