GRAPEVINE, Page 11The Body Wasn't Even Cold
JANICE CASTRO
The citizens of South Florida and New Orleans should get
such attention. No sooner had HURRICANE ANDREW destroyed
Homestead Air Force Base, south of Miami, than three Congressmen
tried to grab its operations for their own districts. Robin
Tallon of South Carolina urged the Air Force to "save money" by
abandoning the Florida site and coming on up to Myrtle Beach,
whose base is scheduled to close next spring. Meanwhile, Sam
Gibbons of Tampa pitched McDill Air Force Base, and J. J. "Jake"
Pickle of West Texas talked up the Lone Star State's Bergstrom
Air Force Base.
