Missionary's execution delayed in Philippines by ransom deadline

Rev Peter Gowling said the rebels warned they would kill him if funds are not delivered. Church officials report funds unavailable. Van Vactor believed unharmed but moved between jungle hideouts amid ongoing Mindanao unrest. Since 1972, over 30 abductees have been taken for ransom.

Irishman McNulty Freed After Refusing Taxes on Winnings
Frank McNulty, 63, who won $128,000 in an Ireland based Irish Sweepstakes ticket in 1973, was released from federal prison after Judge Alfonso Zirpoli ruled continued imprisonment would not coerce payment of taxes. McNulty had dodged IRS taxes on the winnings, collected in Ireland and deposited on the Isle of Jersey, and was sentenced to five years. The release comes days before St Patrick's Day. Also reported: Western diamondback rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater drew 23,000 visitors over three days, no bites, 6,000 pounds of snakes recovered, with 600 ccs venom milled.
