Indians Will Provide Own Security at Seminole Valley Camp
La Peters says the Seminole Valley encampment will rely on its own marshals and formal cooperation with police only if needed. Camp and Holder emphasize self management to avoid outside influence, noting inmates in camp include about 75 people from South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Minnesota and that Senator Clark helped obtain tents through the national guard.

Growing Soviet Interest in Big Fierce Dogs
In Moscow, families keep large guard dogs amid rising living standards and housing changes. Breeders blend Caucasus, Central Asian, and foreign breeds to create aggressive pets like the "black terrier" and "Moscow watchdog" as a sign of status. Many owners join military and volunteer groups, training for guard duty and rescue, with dogs ready for potential war service.

Thinner Finger Before Lunch at Met Opera
AP reports during a Metropolitan Opera broadcast Birgit Nilsson lost a golden ring, later claiming she was singing before lunch and her finger is thinner. In the same season Jess Thomas as Siegfried pulled a sword from a tree trunk and a blade nearly flew into the orchestra pit before a scrim stopped it. He then struck the stage anvil causing it to break apart after a second blow.
