In a voice charged with emotion, the marshal says: "I just wantcha ta know I'd a never made it withoutcha." And as he drags himself off to join...
Short Game. In the vacation department, Ike's face was burned cherry red, his cough cured, his humor high, and he tackled Augusta's tough and tantalizing course every afternoon.

That way everybody would be happy, or almost everybody...
