Her father George Ulmer served in McNulta's regiment, and she remembers going to reunions and hearing her father sing When Johnny Comes Marching Home when he worked alone in the fields. Mrs. Kathryn McNulta, 94, the general's daughter-in-law, flew in from Charleston, S.C. Her grandsons, Paul and Herbert Beich, arrived from Denver and joined their Bloomington brother Otto Beich II.

Roadside motels would suffer, but rents of apartments and values of houses close to city centers and public transit would climb...
Hansen seems to be a new kind of crisismonger, jetting to trouble spots, flaunting congressional credentials to gain access and then making his own bizarre foreign policy on TV film. An ultraconservative Republican member of the House Banking Committee, Hansen flew to Nicaragua a week before the fall of Anastasio Somoza and by his presence implied a support for Somoza that the U.S. Government was discouraging.
