Salamites' 1968 yellow Buick Le-Sabre smashed the presidential limousine on the right front fender, forcing it six feet off course. Ford was unhurt. But Frederick K.

Washington's 4,200-member police department includes 333 women, about half of whom are assigned to patrol duty with men. No formal complaints have been filed, but D.C.

Although a four comprised of Ollie Scholle, Dave Bixby, John Brock and Jim Donaldson with Bruce Larson at cox was able to cop third place in the elite fours class, an entry in the elite eight category found itself desperately in need of a stroke to fill the empty seat of Al Shealy...
