...hatred or, at best, brutal indifference that many ranchers feel toward the wild horse could stem from more than their impatience with anything other than livestock on the range. Hope Ryden, in her book America's Last Wild Horses, suggests another reason: "Perhaps these living reminders of an almost obliterated Indian culture are despised because they not only continue to enjoy a free-roaming existence in the wilderness, but haunt the American conscience as well...
...thing is certain: the Angels are riven by bitter dissension, and the team -touted before the season as a pennant contender-is languishing in fourth place in the American League's Western Division. Many of its troubles stem from the strange behavior of Alex Johnson. In 1970 he scored 85 runs for the Angels, drove in 86 and led the league in batting with a .329 average.

Israel has not exactly discouraged the nationalistic upsurge, since it looks to Russia, with its 3.5 million mostly skilled and educated Jews, as one of the last remaining sources of a sorely needed aliyah-literally, ascent-or wave of immigrants. The Soviets take the position that...
