Mardi Gras is one of the biggest money making events the Pleasanton Juniors stage each year. We have king and queen candidates who hold money making events (dances, fashion shows, family pizza night, etc.) The candidate who raises the most money wins. Last year we raised $12,800.00 for the senior citizens transportation system and $1000.00 for youth counseling programs. The final event is the Mardi Gras Ball, over 500 people attended to drink, eat, dance and celebrate the coronation. Pleasanton, California, from the series "Our Kind of People"

Israeli HQ in Tyre Bombed by Suicide Mission: fanatical Arab guerrillas sent a suicide mission of a lorry filled with explosives, killing 39 persons at the Israeli Command Post at Tyre in Southern Lebanon. The lorry crashed through barriers, security guards fired at the driver and thus the human bomb squad missed the actual Israeli building. But the blast from a nearby ammunition depot caused extensive damage. Responsibility for the raid was claimed to be by the Islamic Holy War, and pro Iranian Shiite Muslim group

South Vietnamese soldiers ride elephants across a river in the Ba Don area, about 20 miles from the Cambodian border, during a patrol in search of Viet Cong guerrillas in June 1964. In some conditions, the Hannibal-like transportation is more suited to jungle warfare than more modern vehicles
