With his campaign running near empty, long on crisp ideas but woefully short of money and notice, he finds himself fueled by that blend of humor, optimism and righteousness peculiar to dark-horse crusaders. It helps him endure those indignities that now come with a campaign, such as confessing that he had used marijuana. It helps him endure the awkward difficulty of having to explain such admissions over the phone to his two young sons...

Several dozen demonstrators, many of them gay activists, waved derisive placards that proclaimed such unglad tidings as HITLER IN 1939. ROBERTSON IN 1988. As Robertson volunteers distributed bumper stickers, a grandmotherly black woman snapped, "Does he really...
...result, the meat tends to be dry when heated according to instructions and tastes better cold. Either a conventional oven or a microwave can be used for heating, but a conventional oven is better for breaded pieces, which should be crisp. As for shelf life, Perdue's method of replacing oxygen with inert nitrogen gives better results, judging from two dozen samples tested. The Holly Farms chilling process requires that the cooked birds be stored at between 28 degreesF and 32 degreesF, a range not always maintained in supermarkets and home refrigerators...
