...spurned suitor, no matter how devoted, has his limits. For 76 days, through the mating season and beyond, a love-struck moose pursued his beloved Hereford cow, Jessica, around a Shrewsbury, Vt., pasture as thousands of delighted tourists gawked, clicked and bought souvenir T shirts. The decidedly odd couple never coupled, of course; he was affectionate, if not ardent, but she was shy. Last week Bullwinkle gave up and headed back into the woods.

...that is a subsidiary of Hunt Midwest Enterprises, which in turn is 90% owned by Texas Oilman Lamar Hunt. From a distance, the rocky bluff along the Missouri River does not look any different from the surrounding area. Closer up, just below a mixed herd of grazing Angus and Hereford cattle, a hole in the bluff can be seen with big semitrailers going in and out. The address: 8300 N.E. Underground Drive. From another nearby hole rumbles a Burlington Northern freight train...
