Escapade ends for 2 runaway pigs in Britain
The 110-pound boar and a five month old sow nicknamed Butch Cassidy and Sundance Pig were cornered after six days on the run from a Malmesbury slaughterhouse. The pair, lauded by tabloids, will live out their days in an animal sanctuary with tranquilizers used on Sundance. Public sympathy spurred a bid war and a shift in the owner’s stance, while media intrigue drew international reporters and vegetarian converts alike.

Elusive East German spymaster Wolf jailed on contempt charge
Markus Wolf, once East Germanys top spymaster, faces potential prison on contempt of court in Frankfurt amid the Flaeming spy case. He refused to identify an informer alleged to be Julius, saying the person had died, while noting he knew defendant Gerhard Flaeming but deemed him not an agent. Wolf argues a 1993 treason conviction was overturned and vows appeal as he awaits a possible six month confinement. He is expected to spend his 75th birthday in prison unless released.
