Police keep an eye on three stolen calves that were slated for the butcher's knife by antisocials. Since the cells of the local police station were not adequate to hold the calves, police kept them tied up in a field near the station in Tibás while waiting for the rightful owners to show up to make their claim.

New Frugality
May Drive More
Retirees to
Costa Rica
By Christopher
Howard,
Living in
Costa Rica*

an article about
Americans
changing their
spending habits
as a result of
the recent
economic
downturn.

ordinary
Americans
suggest a new
frugality
endures even

spending has
risen for five
straight months
and retail sales

majority of
economists
agreed that a
new frugality
will persist
even as the
recovery gains
firmer footing.
