Authorities at Madrid International Airport, one of Europe's busiest air hubs, were trying their best to nab an elusive dog for the past eleven days, finally succeeding on Sunday by calling a team of animal rights activists. Snowy the terrier became lost at the airport on Jan. 31 after arriving on an Iberia cargo plane from Britain. His owners were traveling on a separate plane to vacation in Spain. According to Jaime Perez Guerra, a spokesman for Iberia airlines, the brown-and-white pooch spent 11 days in a sensitive outdoor area of the airport where planes fly over at very low altitude. That made it a tough job for the security people to capture him who were concerned about Snowy running onto a runway.

After suffering from guilty pangs for nearly thirty years, a German man sought to make amends by sending a $375 to a small store in Norway where he shoplifted while on vacation in 1970. The check was sent to a small store in Lom, a town of about 2,300 people, 155 miles north of Oslo. The man, whose name has not been released, said he had been traveling in Scandinavia with his young brother and girlfriend, now his wife in 1970 and stopped in this town for some time. "For many years, my conscience has bothered me. With the enclosed check, I hope to free myself from that and request your help," the German man said. "I would also like to ask for forgiveness for the wrong I did so long ago," he added.

Although grooms-to-be would not be the least bit pleased, Britain's Prince Charles has the legal right to sleep with Welsh virgins on their wedding night if he so desired. The prince became a Welsh landowner when he purchased the 192-acre Llwynywormwood Estate, in the village of Myddfai, Carmarthenshire, last year, and, under an ancient law, he is entitled to sleep with local virgins before the groom - unless their new husbands hand over 65 cents.
