Klein now says that throughout that weekend he was actually "in agony." When I pointed out that he appeared quite happy as he ate dinner with me and some others at the Bedford Inn, he said, "Well, I've learned that I'm quite a good actor. Anyway, that piece was insulting, inaccurate and ridiculous." But wasn't it also right? "At the time I was caught between two ethical systems: that of Anonymous and his commitment to the book, and that of a journalist. I was Anonymous then...
...vulnerable to copycat behavior when it comes to suicide, counselors made a point of talking with students who had been in each of Amber's and Alicia's classes. Any attempts to memorialize the girls were discouraged; candles and flowers that appeared at the spot where Amber and Alicia ate lunch every day were removed and sent home to the families...
That so far has hardly been proved. President Taylor, whom more people wanted to look at in 1991 than did in the first place, was believed to have been done in with arsenic. On July 4, 1850, he ate a bowl of cherries and downed a glass of buttermilk; a few days later he was dead.

But historians guessed rightly that a glass of buttermilk without arsenic is enough...
...have piggybacked a ride into North America in the intestines of world travelers. But that doesn't explain how it managed to spread beyond those initial contacts. Doctors have traced 26 of 61 confirmed cases in Houston to two gatherings at which strawberries were served. "Those who got ill ate strawberries, and those who didn't get sick didn't recall eating any strawberries," says Dr. Kate Hendricks of the Texas department of health. Investigators traced that fruit back to a handful of California farms but so far haven't turned up any tainted strawberries there. They point out that...
...Kossuth, Mississippi, might have made the claim. Situated far north of the old plantations in the Delta, the tiny, oak-dotted hamlet (pop. 248) has historically enjoyed a lack of tension between white and black communities. In the 1940s and into the 1950s, children of both races played and ate together, and Kossuth achieved legal integration without the horrible spasms that wrenched most of the South. It was always a point of pride to Linda Lambert, the wife of Kossuth's mayor, that 109 years ago her ancestors donated the land on which black ex-sharecroppers built the Mount Pleasant...
