If caught, Maria thought it meant three years in jail for her, ten for Bernd. "They'd accuse you of being a Western slave trader." They paid $6.50 for a brown plasterboard suitcase that...
...color is high, his face almost unlined, his figure trim, his nervous energy controlled. He stays on the go from early morning to early morning, sees an in credible number of people and performs an incredible number of tasks.

In addition to being athletic director at Indiana's Butler University (undergraduate enrollment: 1,900), Hinkle is an author, TV commentator, lecturer and Indianapolis civic leader. A trim 63, he manages Butler's baseball team; to make sure the playing field is in top shape, he plows, seeds and rakes it himself. In the fall he coaches football, and his teams have lost only one game in the past three years. But for Hinkle, these activities are merely sidelines. In the winter he knuckles down to his main...
