...dispatch a civilian to be a member of the U.N. peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan -- the first time a Japanese will participate in such an operation. Immediately after Moscow announced its withdrawal from Afghanistan, Takeshita pledged $5 million to finance U.N. efforts there and promised to send workers to help transport refugees and rebuild telephone lines. When Hiroshi Nakajima moves up to head the World Health Organization next month, he will become the first Japanese to lead a major international organization. Though Japan would welcome an invitation to become the sixth permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, Tokyo remains acutely...
...Nicaragua. But as the vehicles tried to cross the Mexican border from Laredo, Texas, last week, U.S. Customs officials insisted that the convoy drivers pledge not to violate the Administration's trade embargo by leaving their vehicles in Nicaragua. The drivers refused, claiming Nicaragua needed the rolling stock to transport children to hospitals and crops to market.

Modern, motorized rustlers are much more efficient than their Old West predecessors. A 20-ft. gooseneck trailer can carry 15 or more yearlings and transport them to stockyards more quickly than any hard-riding band of desperadoes on horseback ever could. A pair of California ranch hands who were arrested for rustling two months ago -- Buddy Goodman, 46, and Benton Demaree, 38 -- allegedly used trailers to ship 45 head of cattle from an area southwest of Fresno to livestock auctions nearly 100 miles miles away in San Luis Obispo and Kern counties. Only when a state cattle-brand inspector spotted...
