Widely credited with transforming modeling into a big business by creating the first exclusive modeling contracts, Jerry Ford died on Aug. 24 at his home in Morristown...
From Hurricane Frederic in 1979 to tropical storm fay, which ravaged Florida in late August, Americans affected by disaster have looked to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for aid.

Yours was a great article about how the food we love makes it to our dinner plates. In such a politically correct climate, I want to salute you for publishing this story. I expect that PETA will be lining up to run you all out of town. Jay Ruane, LANSDALE...
