...that affects the mind in August, so that while one is actually entertained by watching three mules dive into a 6-ft. pool, still a part of the same mind retains its distance, goes off on a private reverie in which collapsing football players shaped like refrigerators, poisoned birds, butter cows and Judge Crater, too, disappear, and one is left with what is suddenly a happy mind, a relaxed and contemplative mind--best of all, an alone mind...
...state fair in Iowa, which is expected to draw as many as 600,000 people, an artist, Duffy Lyon, created a sculpture of Hansel, Gretel and their gingerbread house, entirely out of butter. This broke a long-standing tradition in Iowa. In past years the fair featured only one butter sculpture: a cow contained in a refrigerated case.

Notes Green: "To be really authentic we even have Marshmallow Fluff for those who want it." Similarly, there is a Southwest-Mexican...

It sent shivers through us," she says, as her 1-year-old son plods across the floor of her trailer, playing with an empty butter tub. But Odunsi and Nwanze's story has an Irish twist: Athlone didn't want to let them go. Within 24 hours of their departure, more than 4,000 people - nearly one-fifth of the town's population - had signed a petition asking Ireland's Justice Minister to reconsider. The town council...
