ILLINOIS has built a handsome native-brick structure to house a Lincoln library and a display of Lincoln manuscripts, both excellent.

...Black Bats. Hank Bauer may have quit the A's-but not Kansas City. It has been his off-season home ever since he arrived in 1947, a young pipe fitter who figured himself "good enough to play Triple A ball, nothing more." The Bauers' neat grey-brick house in suburban Prairie Village is stocked with the usual mementos of Hank's playing career: bronze-dipped spikes and gloves, plaques, pictures, and a rack of nine shiny black World Series bats, one for each of Hank's years as a member of the champion Yankees...
...four of which have a population as high as 100,000. A.E.P. has prospered mainly because it has invested wisely in new technology, and thus has been able to drop its rates to one-sixth below the national average for private utilities.

She fussed over food fads, played grand opera endlessly on the phonograph, loved to read the classics aloud to tiny Lady Bird. She scandalized people for miles around by entertaining Negroes in her home, and once even started to write a book about Negro religious practices, called Bio Baptism. Naturally, most folks thought Minnie...
...mother and the shrewd dollar-sign language of her father; her two brothers, Tony and Tom III (the latter died in 1959), were both much older and were away at school. Then in 1918 Minnie Lee Taylor fell down the length of the circular staircase in the old brick house and died-and Lady Bird was left with Cap Taylor...
