...Europe: first in Paris (on a scholarship in the 1920s), then in the south of France and finally -- having met and fallen in love with Holcha Krake, a Danish artist 16 years older than he was -- in Denmark, where he painted and exhibited with some success through the 1930s...
...1930s farmers had made plowing an art form and were competing in county fairs. Herb Plambeck, an enterprising farm reporter and colleague of Ronald Reagan's at Des Moines' station WHO, brought the contestants together in a national match that thrust plowing into power politics. In 1948 Harry Truman headed for Dexter, Iowa, where 100,000 people had come to witness the meet. Truman gave the 80th Congress hell, delightedly kicked some newly turned clods of earth as if they were Republicans, and came away with a huge grin, convinced that the reception he got from the dirt farmers meant...
Others who favor women priests say feminists must realize that progress takes time.

Rather than the embodiment of motiveless malignity, Richard is simply a skillful and ruthless practitioner of the techniques of his backstabbing times. While invested by McKellen...
...find out. Too little of this crucial vitamin can lead to bone weakness and rickets, the deforming of bones in growing children. That's why D, found naturally in only a few foods (including the seriously disgusting cod liver oil), has been routinely added to milk since the 1930s. But too much of the vitamin is no bonus; the symptoms range from fatigue to urinary-tract stones to kidney malfunction -- and, in infants, the condition known as "failure to thrive," which can lead to death...
