...listed in the tax books as Edna's Ranch Boarding House, but everybody called it the Chicken Ranch. Well sir for sump'n like 80 years the Chicken Ranch was a place a man could call home whenever he needed to get outta his own house. Cowboys, cotton pickers, state senators, the Texas A&M football team, your more adventurous visiting clergy-they all come to Edna's place, and damn if she didn't make 'em feel right welcome. The girls were plenny good-lookin' and didn't misbehave unless you paid...
...business-page headlines last week were a relentless reminder of the gathering force of the current U.S. recession. With each passing day, the industrial landscape is increasingly marred by padlocked factory gates and smokeless smokestacks. Spreading from cotton mills in Georgia to lumber camps in Oregon, the slump has swiftly swelled the ranks of the jobless. The Labor Department announced last week that November's unemployment rate rose again, to 8.4%, the highest level in six years, up from 8% in October and 7% in July. This means that about 9 million Americans and their families are facing...
Only Ronald Brown, as Gitlow Judson, avoids the pervasive half-hearted mugging and posturing.

As time goes on-and Bryant, 68, says he is going on with it-there may be no catching Bear. For now, there may be no knowing him, except through his players and assistants. At least they can share the feeling of knowing him. And not just by their Bear stories, as fun as those are. The stories are as picturesque as he is, and they...
...shirt tests, conducted by West German Biologists Margret Schleidt and Barbara Hold, showed that men and women blindfolded could identify perspiration odors of their mates. Schleidt tested 75 couples in West Germany, Italy and Japan, asking them to wear cotton T shirts to bed for a week and avoid using perfumes or deodorants. In all three sets of tests, results were the same: subjects were generally able to sniff out the shirts worn by their mates, and both men and women considered male odors more unpleasant than female odors. But when women selected the shirts they thought belonged to their...
