Worse yet, the duck that has been hardest hit, say experts of the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, has been the hunter's favorite: the big. lumbering and noisy mallard, which normally fills more than half of the Midwestern hunter's bag.

Soup's On is a restaurant offering a big bowl of the stuff, a hunk of French bread and coffee for a buck, while Chances R and its sister restaurant across the street (called Across the Street) push a ton of hamburger and give away half a ton of peanuts every week...
