DIED. John D. Murchison, 57, who teamed with younger brother Clint, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, to parlay their father's multimillion-dollar oil fortune into a vast empire (publishing, real estate, insurance, others); of a heart attack; in Dallas.

There, Lake Victoria flows northward to form the White Nile, whose waters boil over the majestic Murchison (now Kabalega) Falls at the start of their long journey to the Mediterranean. The Ruwenzori mountain range, better known as the Mountains of the Moon, rise to the southwest, while herds of game roam the green plains and rolling hills. Elysium was never more heavenly or tranquil...
