Many of the Reyes Pruneda gangsters are believed to be hiding in the hill country not far from Monterrey. Nonetheless there is little sign of a letup in the killings. Just eight weeks ago, for instance, a Mexican customs official seized a trailer van full of household appliances and color television sets that had been stolen in the U.S. and were being smuggled into Mexico-a lucrative return cargo for the men who smuggle drugs the other way. The customs official made the mistake of allowing the local newspaper to run his photograph. Two days later he was machine-gunned...
Those who cannot look forward to moving back in before winter, loan or no loan, sit and wait for the trailers from HUD; arrows on large, hand-painted signs show the HUD drivers where the trailers should be placed-if and when they come. The arrival of the trailer often marks the start of another long, frustrating wait. Harry and Gladys Nusbaum spent 16 days in their trailer with no water, sewage, heat, electricity. Last week the water, sewage and electricity were hooked up, but there is still no heat. Harry, who drove his own bakery truck, no longer...
...neighbors on Pyramid Place made such a fuss that an embarrassed public works committee tabled the idea. In Lake Forest, Calif., some 360 miles from Hollywood, officials were more sympathetic to Rudy's ambition. So now Lake Forest has a street called Rue de Vallee. The location: a trailer park. Vallee was only moderately pleased by the honor. "I need that street about like I need another nose," he said.

...next six years, sales are expected to top $3 billion. Today, more than 800 companies, many clustered around Elkhart, Ind., now make recreational vehicles. Most are still run by their founders, a group of entrepreneurs who have made millions merely by buying the necessary parts and assembling campers and trailers. Some of the nation's largest corporations, however, are also getting into the business. Boise Cascade, W.R. Grace and Beatrice Foods have bought existing companies. Apeco Corp. this month began selling the first travel trailer designed to be towed by a compact car, and General Motors next year will...
...again and again to them, split-screen images tuned to the ruffling of the rodeo man's brow, as battered Junior makes his way back to his trailer. Every bit of stable dirt crusting on his boots, every slap of leather chaps against dungarees, even the feel of sweated denim against the man's chest, reminds him of his failure. The champ, good-natured, broadfacedly smiling, watches Bonner tape his bruised midsection. ("Whooiee!" says Twilliger). He also backs up Bonner's white Cadillac to his horse trailer. "Maybe I'd better take up another line of work," says Bonner...
