...sits in front of the stately stone main house on his 10,000-acre ranch, Picosa, near his birthplace, with cicadas chirping hi the spotlighted trees and the lush coastal Bermuda grass, the last of these desires seems to be the only one unfulfilled. Near by is a ring for his quarter horses and another ring for showing his cattle. "I think I've got the finest herd of young bulls hi the country," the master breeder proudly boasts of his shiny red Santa Gertrudis cattle. He and Nellie have three children and seven grandchildren.* They are avid antique collectors...
...German agents last month arrested 29 people for illegal possession of heroin in the southern town of Oppenheim. The raid netted 24 American G.I.s from near by Anderson Barracks. Also caught were two Turkish immigrant workers and three West German women, including one 24-year-old who was the ring's alleged leader. In all, police seized quantities of heroin worth $164,000 at street prices. Even though American soldiers were involved, U.S. military personnel have long ceased to be the main source of West Germany's narcotics problem. Trafficking and addiction among West Germans have been rising...
...small unmanned Pioneer 11 spacecraft was fast approaching Saturn, whose image was being sent back with more clarity than could be obtained by any earth-bound telescope. One especially intriguing view, taken by the robot from a distance of 3.2 million km (2 million miles), showed both the giant ringed planet, a huge gaseous sphere 815 times larger than earth, and its major moon, Titan, where scientists have not entirely given up hope of finding evidence of primitive life forms. Pioneer also radioed data on two other Saturnian satellites (among ten known ones): lapetus, whose puzzling bright side seems...

To prepare for his ring debut in November, Jones goes to a Manhattan gym daily to spar four rounds and punch a 150-lb. bag for another six. He then shadowboxes, works out with his trainer and does calisthenics before finishing up with six miles of roadwork. Some 70 offers for fights have come...
...Arnold Gingrich was a taste for good writing. At a time when Ernest Hemingway's stories were too unconventional for the Post, Gingrich admiringly sent him free slacks and a windbreaker, and got him as a regular contributor. For Esquire's first issue, Hemingway brought with him Ring Lardner Jr. and John Dos Passos. Gingrich believed that an editor edits best who edits least. Esquire's third element was sex-from the Petty and Varga pinups to harem cartoons- which got the magazine in early trouble with the postal authorities...
