...visitor set out in the evening light to walk across the hills to Moses' boma. Joseph wore a handsome red blanket hung over his shoulder like a toga and, oddly, a suede golf cap that suited him well. He was barefoot, his feet tough and thick as they trod upon rocks and twigs and thorns and dung indifferently...
...demonstration trod a hard road, almost collapsing twelve days after it began when the original sponsor, a group called Pro Peace, ran out of funds. But after forming their own corporation and raising $500,000, much of it in donations of $20 or less, the walkers took their plea for a nuclear freeze to small towns across the country.

For their latest foray, they have enlisted...

All along it was to be the first time that a woman contender for national office had trod on the dueling ground of televised debate. Then, after Ronald Reagan's unexpectedly weak performance against Walter Mondale, the match-off between running mates also became a potential benchmark scoring opportunity for Democrat Ferraro. The challengers had a chance to claim two underdog victories in quick succession and keep...
