...town making do, that is what it was, unaware of its loose ways until Roy McNeely rolled up in a 1973 Winnebago, for which he had traded a motorcycle, a sidecar and $1,200. Nowadays, even the townsfolk who back the new marshal say that his zealotry riles 50% of their lot. City Councilman Martin Devere, a businessman whose charges include Boothill cemetery, and a McNeely supporter, says that "anyone good in that job is bound to ruffle feathers." A local innkeeper says flatly, "I think he's an egomaniac. We had a little fender bender out front here...
...realize they're either gonna have law enforcement," the marshal said,"or they're gonna let the riffraff take over the town." For his part, no matter whether he is reappointed for two more years this fall, the man is stuck on Tombstone.

But for the once flush U.S. petroleum industry, no gushers of champagne have flowed since 1981, when the value of oil peaked. And last month's 25% drop in crude prices is bringing even more failures and layoffs to the Energy Belt. Last week...
...dope underground's problems were not over. Half an hour later, police in Florida City, a small town 25 miles to the south, stopped a Winnebago for a minor traffic violation and discovered 2,094 lbs. of marijuana inside. But that was only an hors d'oeuvre. Before long a second Winnebago was stopped. Inside were 31 duffel bags stuffed with more than a ton of cocaine, a record haul for town police. Admiring colleagues at the Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington noted that the two tons of cocaine seized in one day, with a total value of more than...
