.....NO RANSOM PAID, BUT MONKEY IS SAFE by J. S. Meyers
By day's end, Joann Eubank's pet spider monkey has been returned
safely, and two suspects were under arrest.
The caper started about two weeks ago according to police Lt. Buck
Posey, when Eubank reported that two saddle, bridles, and other tack
equipment had been stolen. Then later she reported her monkey had also
been kidnapped <monkeynapped?>.
That evening she received a phone call from a man who told her that
if she wanted her pet returned safely, she would have to pay $150 to a
man in El Cajon <San Diego suburb> "or the monkey would be killed,".
Meanwhile, Eubank scouted the neighborhood heard a monkey screeching
and called the cops and both observed a monkey in the bathroom.
Obtaining a search warrant, detectives recovered the monkey, two
stolen saddles, bridles and tack equipment.
<by the way, the story never said if the saddles
were for the monkey..>
.....BROTHEL MAY SELL STOCK, TOO
John Davis has bid $18 million to buy the Mustang Ranch. If it goes
through it will be the first time stock in prostitution has been sold
over-the-counter. Workers at the 100-bedroom are even talking about
investing.
If Davis's company-Strong Point Inc.- succeeds it could help change
the publics attitude toward prostitution. Strong Point has 300 investors.
Sellee, Joseph Conforte and his wife Sally, claim the ranch has a
20% return profit. The prostitutes work as independent contractors, paying
the ranch $10 per day for meals and facilities and split the gross
receipts 50-50 with the house.
.....MALEVOLENT COMPUTER 'HACKER' ACTS
MORE LIKE JACK THE RIPPER ...story of the week
Somewhere out there, plugged into the nations growing computer
network, is a vandal whose bark - "Arf! Arf!" - is not nearly as bad
as his byte, which can wipe out entire computer libraries.
He places a program on a bulletin board and when some curious
computerist picks out his program, it automatically devours all of the
other programs stored in the computer.
Richard Streeter had 900 programs in memory when he was paging
through the Long Island-based Family Ledger bulletin board and saw
a program that promised to improve his computer's graphics. He down
loaded the program into his computer, and sat back to watch it work.
Instead his 900 programs had vanished. In their place was a simple
gibe. "Arf! Arf! Got You! ".
Luckily about 850 programs were on back-up.
.....TWO SHORT STORIES
If you're going to visit somebody in San Diego's county jail, be
sure you are clean yourself. You have to sign a visitation request
card to see someone. Well, Sheriff's spokesman John Tenwolde says,
"on a good visiting day, it's not unusual to come up with three or
four cases of outstanding warrants".

Bills filed in the New York State Legislature normally run three
pages.Gov. Mario Cuomo signed a record-buster recently. 3,088 pages,
weighing 32 pounds. It cost about $90,000 just to print 2,500 copies
of the revision of New York City's administration code, a project
that took ten years. Eliminated legislation includes: a law making
it illegal for women to show their navel in public and another law
allowing reporters to tie their horses at the foot of City Hall.
