Tenacious trekkers do not even glance at window displays. "Looking distracts you," contends Hazel Yarbrough, 74, who clips along for five to seven miles a day at a zippy 140 steps a minute in the Georgia Square Mall in Athens. Regular strollers look out for mischief, pick up refuse and add a general air of bonhomie to the malls as they exchange pleasantries in passing.

Last week FBI ballistics experts confirmed that among the weapons found in Suspect Gary Lee Yarbrough's home in Sandpoint, Idaho, was the 45-cal. mac-10 submachine pistol used last June to murder Alan Berg, a combative and controversial Denver radio talk-show host. Yarbrough denied the killing, insisting that he was given the weapon after the shooting. At week's end he had not been charged...
According to FBI agents, the red-haired Yarbrough, 29, is a former member of an Idaho-based neo-Nazi group called Aryan Nations. Yarbrough and five other members of the group were charged last week with a pair of armored-rack robberies worth more than $4 million. Yarbrough is also charged with opening fire on three FBI agents outside his home in October. The formidable arms cache discovered in his home after his arrest included crossbows, plastic explosives, hand grenades, night-vision scopes and semiautomatic rifles. Said Yarbrough: "The Bible tells me to prepare for the day of destruction...
