...never saw a girl back when I was an undergraduate, maybe only once in a while Saturday after a football game. Something that strikes me about how the times have changed...one of the fellows left his fur coat in class one day, and when I told him about it, he said he could always pick it up tomorrow.

Arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court may be the stuff of lawyers' dreams, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But for a gentle-looking black lawyer named Wade H.

Wheat that good bends the stalks and lies close to the ground looking like the matted coat of a golden-haired dog. Heavy wheat is hard to cut, though. The combine has to move slowly, with its cutting head close to the ground. "Ease it up, Roger. Ease it up," radios Jessie to one of his combine drivers.
