CUBA HIT HARD BY HURRICANE: HAVANA - Driving rain and lashing winds smash the Havana waterfront, in the wake of devastating hurricane--the second in as many weeks—which takes the lives of scores.—The Florida Keys and Miami are also hit by the storm. / PRISONERS HOLD OWN RODEO: HUNTSVILLE, TX - The 17th edition of the famed "Prison Rodeo" packs its usual wallop of thrills, with hard-riding inmates finding a novel "Out" for those "IN" blues.
