...coal-mining town of Cow Creek, picked up his regular riders on schedule. Seconds before he was due, for example, James Goble, 12, John, 11, and Anna Laura, 9, the three children of Cow Creek Storekeeper James B. Goble, scooped up their books, kissed their mother, hurried out the door to climb aboard...
...swayed, tipped for a moment at the top of the embankment, then slithered through a grove of willow trees into the river. It hung for agonizing minutes in 3 ft. of water-long enough and shallow enough for 13-year-old Bill Leedy to kick open the rear emergency door, push smaller children out, then escape himself.

There are no night people depositing their yellow sheaves of paper at the Kirkland Street door slot. The authors are scattered about the nation, most of them belonging to an older generation.
