...followed a trail of strange footprints. Three small brown men, naked except for loin pouches made of leaves, were digging up a large root with a sharp stick. When they saw him, they fled like monkeys. Shouting reassurance, Dafal gave chase until the men stopped in a stream bed, trembling...
...River was a fine canoeing stream back in 1875, when the Potawatomi Indians headed down it in birch-barks. It still is, as 1,470 weekend paddlers found this month when they took part in the 15th Annual Mid-American Canoe Race. In bright aluminum and fiber-glass craft with names like Shark One and Titanic, the contestants braved a broad, meandering 22-mile stretch of the river in northern Illinois, suffering no injury worse than a cut leg and some overtaxed stomach muscles...
...Steady Stream. The students' victory was, in a way, Pyrrhic. USAID had been the largest single employer in the entire country after the Vientiane government itself, and it was still handing out $32 million in economic aid this year (the equivalent of $10 per Laotian).

...letter was first released two weeks ago. It caused consternation among San Diego priests, and Maher's aides explained that Catholics could belong to NOW-if they opposed its pro-abortion view. Upon his return Maher endorsed that shift at a testy press conference. But buoyed by a stream of favorable phone calls, telegrams and letters, he justified his condemnation of NOW by name. He also insisted that support of a woman's freedom of choice on abortion-which is NOW's policy-is as bad as promoting abortion as such. "You have these two creeds...
