...turn a day away from the office into a full-fledged safari. The Haven's 3,500 unfenced acres border on Great Smoky Mountains National Park and teem with native game: wild turkeys, bobcats, deer, black bears, ferocious Russian boars that can rip a man open with one slash of their 6-in. tusks. And that is not all: Owner "Wolfie" Wolfenbarger, a retired Knoxville restaurateur, has stocked the Haven with big-horned aoudad (wild sheep) from North Africa, mouflons from Corsica, elk from Canada, sika deer from Japan and red stags from Bavaria.

Ludget requests for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Institutes of Health have also come under heavy attack in Congress...
Administration fuzziness seemed to have significant effects on Congress, where the lack of guidance on whom the U.S. was racing and what it was racing for began to make itself felt. On October 10, the House approved the appropriation committee's slash of NASA funds by a vote of 302 to 32. The House bill allotted $5.1 billion to NASA, a reduction of $612 million from the original budget request. Since the greatest portionof the cut was taken from funds for industry contracts and not from administrative funds, the House action will apparently cripple NASA plans to reach the moon...
