The next minute, overwhelmed by bacteriophobia, she starts scrubbing the kitchen floor for the fourth time that...
...self-effacingly to leave the court, Reed was not even sure that he rated as the leading citizen of his own native Maysville, Ky. (pop. 8,000). That honor rightly belonged, he once said, to Maysville's Rosemary Clooney. "There used to be a street in town called Cow Lane and they changed it to Rosemary Lane.
