WHEN WE got back to the trailer, Patty said baby Sarah needed some milk and eggs and could we go to the store? I offered to take my car, but Kenny said naw, we'd go on the motorcycle. He handed me a Bell crash helmet with a wraparound visor and we went out behind the trailer. "I came within a gnat's ass of bein' a road racer a while back," said Kenny. "But you begin to look at things a little different when you got a wife and kid to support...
...said a tall boy who was the son of a big dairy farmer nearby. "Let me tell you, that wasn't no chocolate bunny!" Patty, Kenny's wife, couldn't picture it. "Aww, he wudn't do that!" she said.

Last week an unidentified former aide of Allende's released photographs of the President taken inside the besieged presidential palace on the morning of the coup. He is seen in the company of his guards wearing a metal combat helmet and carrying a Soviet-made automatic rifle given to him by Cuba's Fidel Castro. Fascinating though they are, the photos do not resolve the questions about how Allende died. The military junta that now runs Chile claims that Allende committed suicide by killing himself with his rifle. But Allende...
