ings created by arusts that

hauler in) Thailand’s timber

In April, doctors at
Washington, = D.C2s St.
Elizabeths © Hospital said
Yomar Cooper Locker, 25,
was no fonger mentally ill and
should be unconditionally
released. Just two months ear-
fier, Locker had been found
not guilty by reason of insani-
ty (post-traumatic stress)
the murder of boxer Reuben
Bell, whom Locker had fatally
shor because he though Bell
had killed Locker’s girlfriend.
Though Locker thus escaped
penalty for murder and the
wounding of five bystanders,
he was sentenced to 20 to 60
months for gun-possession
(bur since he was jailed pre-
trial for 26 months, a judge at
press time was considering

-Whether to release Locker

immediately).

The hottest-selling item
this spring for turkey hunters
has been Delta Industries’
male decoy that fits on top of
its traditional hen decoy to

give got olers the illusion “that ©

a stranger is having his way
with one of the gobbler’s
harem. According to a
hunters’. store manager in
Cedar Rapids, lowa (reported
in the Cedar Rapids Gazette),
the appeal to territorial jeal-
ousy is especially effective with
older gobblers too wise to fall
for hunters’ simple mating-
call fures.

According to an April San
Francisco Chronicle feature, a
painting by local artist
Catherine Anderson had been
accepted for hanging, then
rejected, by the fancy Lodge
at Sonoma resort set to open
later this year. Anderson spe-
cializes in paintings of cows,
but the Lodge declined her
first picce because the cows in
the field -included too many
posteriors, and also declined a
substitute because one cow
was in what a Lodge represen-
tative allegedly said was a
“provocative position.”
