Thomas compiled a career record of 292-84 in 37 seasons as a head coach, 34 of them at Aplington-Parkersburg, and was one of the most well-known high school football coaches in Iowa. He was honored as the NFL High School Coach of the Year in 2005, and four of his former players are in the NFL: Green Bay's Aaron Kampman, Jacksonville's Brad Meester, Detroit's Jared DeVries and Denver's Casey Wiegmann. Thomas made national headlines last year when he insisted that the high school's football field, named in his honor, be rebuilt...
...last well into the fall. Kodak plans to donate the last remaining rolls of Kodachrome film to the George Eastman House's photography museum. One of them will be symbolically shot by McCurry - although the famed photographer gave up the format long ago. In fact, McCurry's photographic career perfectly traces the rise and fall of Kodak film.

More to the point, Fisher was the country's first great economist, a pioneer of the mathematical approach that came to dominate the discipline after his death. Fisher saw the behavior of the market in rational, mathematical terms. He wasn't completely doctrinaire about this--earlier in his career, he had allowed that investors sometimes behaved like sheep. But in the 1920s, convinced that skilled monetary management at the Federal Reserve and the rise of new, professionally run investment trusts had reduced the riskiness of markets, he lulled himself into believing that the prices prevailing on Wall Street were...
...eldest son of character actor John Carradine, whose itinerant career he replicated, David won a Theatre World Award on Broadway as an Inca sovereign in 1965's The Royal Hunt of the Sun. In his Kung Fu decade, he starred for Martin Scorsese (Boxcar Bertha) and Ingmar Bergman (The Serpent's Egg), drove killer cars in Death Race 2000 and Cannonball and folded his towering frame into the pint-size legend of Woody Guthrie in Bound for Glory--gutsy, exemplary films...
