The same year (about 79 I think) the cow from one of the Albuquerque steak-houses was almost captured. However, the kidnappers were caught by a cop when they pulled off I-25 to change a flat (or so the story goes). Apparently he was a bit suspicious of a pick-up truck pulling a fake cow out of town on a trailer... [I wasn't involved in either of these, so the stories are second/third/ fourth hand...any other Tech alumni out there who can elaborate?] --Jeremy Epstein Perkin-Elmer {decvax,ucbvax}!vax135!petsd!pedsgd!jje
