- Nice dogs. Usually available for free as retired racing dogs. Call
- any of the dog tracks in Florida, for example. I know Wisconsin
- has strict laws about placing retired racing dogs in homes (as opposed
- to shallow graves, as is done too often), so you could call there, too.
- A friend of mine who lived in New Mexico used ex-racing dogs for
- hunting jackrabbits. He said the best one he had was a bitch that
- was rejected for racing because she would jump the rail, cut the
- corner on the track, and jump the rail again to catch the mechanical
- rabbit.

- There's some stuff about greyhounds in Dan Mannix's book "A Sporting
- Chance", sometimes found at gun shows.

- Tom Donald, who lives in Saskatchewan, uses salukis to course
- white-tailed jacks so his prairie falcon can pound the hare.

- "A well-educated electorate being necessary to the prosperity of
- a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books, shall
- not be infringed." Should there be a waiting period for the purchase of
- "dangerous" books, magazines, and newspapers?
