Lane's father taught her the nature lore, pointing out signs to the youngest of his seven children on the family farm where Lane still lives. Now Lane, 78 and frail with cancer, is passing on the knowledge to her daughter. This fall, while Lane monitored the foliage on Crab Orchard and Renegade mountains from her living-room window, Melinda Lane Hedgecoth ventured into the woods for her, reporting on how thick the fogs were, counting spider webs and spying on the hornets. She also wrote for her mother the annual fall column that Lane has written for the Crossville...
...this year, Republicans will at worst maintain their count of 32 governorships, and probably will pick up at least three more. And they'll do it in some improbable places.

Manning and Leaf were characteristically bewitched, bothered and bewildered at times, and mediocre overall, which was a step in the right direction. The Colts got their first...
That would clearly be mistaken.

Indeed, early in this decade, it sometimes seemed that John Paul, who lost good Jewish friends to Hitler, would do almost anything to stamp out anti-Semitism and promote an honest respect between faiths. In the past year, however, it has become clearer that when such goals collide with the prerogatives and good name of his own house--the naming...
