...Pentagon refused to release the figures for July and August, which reportedly show a 50% decrease in Southbound troop movements. It did note, however, that even so dramatic a decline could be explained by record monsoons in Laos, which have turned the infiltration routes of the Ho Chi Minh Trail into nearly impassable quagmires...
...really arrived: the first major race exclusively for all-terrain vehicles was held in New Hampshire's normally non-negotiable Ossipee Mountains. Staged by the National All-Terrain Vehicle Association, the event was run over a treacherous 17-mile course. The first ten miles consisted of logging trails thickly overgrown with branches and undercut with creeks, rockslides and oozing beds of mud. After that, every last trace of trail was obliterated.

Spokesman. Soon after the election he embarked on a speaking tour of 91 appearances in 35 states. Next to Ted Kennedy, he was the most sought-after Democrat on the banquet trail.

Wyatt wears a leather jacket with an American flag stitched...
...watched the celluloid Wayne pass through three stages of life. In the '30s, he was the outspoken, hair-trigger-tempered son who would straighten out if he didn't get shot first. By the late '40s, he had graduated to fatherhood: topkick Marine to a platoon of shavetails or trail boss to a bunch of saddle tramps. In True Grit his belt disappears into his abdomen, his opinions are sclerotic and his face is beginning to crack like granite. Audiences now recognize him as a grandfather image, using booze for arterial Antifreeze, putting off winter for one more day. They...
