...Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, a favorite charity of Kron's. Teddy's son Larry, Hart's namesake and only nephew, would be shut out after his father died. Smelling a rat - or, rather, two: Kron and Rodgers - Teddy and his wife Dorothy sued them both. The mess took years to clean up, during which time Rodgers and the surviving Harts did not speak...
...rolled in flour and cooked in pork fat, to which we add water and pearl onions. This is really good--thick and hearty and richly gravied, the onions adding a sweetness to the tender chunks of venison. I fry up some trout rolled in cornmeal and flour in a mess of pig fat: awesome--crisp on the outside and soft and buttery inside. We put some grouse coated in cornmeal in a pan of pork fat: a winner. We find some morels on the property, which we combine with onions and cook in a wash of pork fat: very nice...
...billion people on this planet, whose only daily goal is to drum up enough to eat, don't give a crap about Jean-Marie Messier - and that they're wrong in that.

...Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco - ruling last week that schoolchildren should not recite the pledge because the phrase under God violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment - certainly chose a ridiculously inappropriate moment to mess with it.

Instead, consider TIPS, or inflation-protected Treasury bonds. Uncle Sam isn't going to default on his debt (or, if he does, the world economy will be such a mess that nothing else will be worth investing in either). And TIPS guarantee you can't lose money after inflation. They're no longer cheap but still yield up to 3.1 percentage points over the current inflation rate. Put them in your IRA or other retirement account, where their quirky tax features won't "drive you stark raving mad," as Loomis Sayles Bond Fund manager Daniel Fuss puts...
