Psychic Return. One of the siren songs of newsletter publishing is the shoestring startup cost-typically $10,000, v. 50 to 100 times that much to start a magazine. "All you need is a typewriter, a mimeograph machine and an idea," says Ken Galloway, who founded Capitol Publications in Washington, D.C., eleven years ago with $750 in his pocket; today the firm publishes 19 letters, has a staff of 45 and grosses $2.5 million. Once established, overhead is low and profits are high. For the editors, there are less tangible rewards, like virtually complete freedom of expression. "The psychic return...
...almost ready to chalk the entire idea by Thanksgiving of his sophomore year, right after he Ken Nortoned some walking Walabbee from Milton in the jaw for snickering when he asked Paco to pass the Fritos at a party.

Furthermore, Martin said that southpaw starter Ken Holtzman will pitch only on the Jewish holidays of odd years, which is also apparently the only time Craig Nettles (.197) plans on getting a base...
...twelve murals they have painted are vivid, unabashed celebrations of rural Wisconsin life. On Ken Howell's dairy barn near Ashland, an ore boat steams across the clapboard siding, while an orange and crimson sun descends in a peacock blue sky. At Oak Creek, a 16-ft. cultivator depicted on the John and Arthur Mahr barn stands amid a luminous crazy quilt of rolling hillsides. Past poster-bright stands of timber and grazing deer, a lumber train with trim red wheels chugs across the Lewis Furchtenicht barn in Spooner. The facade of Patrick Hennessey's barn in Dodgeville...
