Spanier's return to New Orleans was something of a sentimental journey. Dr. Alton Ochsner Sr. operated on him in 1939 for a perforated ulcer. He then gave a cornet to Alton Ochsner Jr. It was Muggsy's own idea to go back to New Orleans recently, when he was still suffering from the effects of a collapse last summer in Detroit. The diagnosis: acute pulmonary congestion, though he may also have some emphysema (see preceding story). It was his idea to play a cornet for the test-the cornet he had given to young Alton...
...four-foot snowdrifts near the northern Italian town of Paluzza last week, workers prepared to blast out a tunnel for a 40-in. pipeline that will connect the port of Trieste with refineries in West Germany. The pipeline will require nearly four miles of tunnels, but most of its journey will have to be made, like Hannibal's, across the frozen peaks and deep valleys of the Alps. Scheduled to begin operating in 1967, the $150 million, 300-mile Trans-Alpine Line will eventually carry more than 40 million tons of crude oil annually. It will be the biggest...

Their carcasses were mummified and tucked away underground so that their souls would journey to the god and ask his healing favor.

Not until Emery broke into its catacombs did anyone know what had become of the mum mies of all those ibises...
...present volume of letters charts the remainder and the darker portions of Ruskin's desperate sexual journey. Four years after the annulment Ruskin met Rosie La Touche, the pretty daughter of an Irish banker whose wife admired Ruskin's work. He fell deeply in love with Rosie, who seems to have returned as much affection as could be expected of a girl her age-she had just turned ten. After Ruskin mooned about for four years, the La Touches became alarmed and forbade him to see Rosie. To his friend and confidante, Lady Mount-Temple, he wrote later...
