...Championships, and indulged in sandwiches, salad, chips, and cider--the coach had a little "liquid refreshment" he demurely noted. On the way back, the team--still not completely sated--stopped at an ice cream parlor for a snack. Everyone ordered large servings, but junior DARLENE BECKFORD's creation of peppermint ice cream with hot fudge and marshmallow topping won special honors...
...suffered for ten years with menstrual pain, and let me assure you, it's not just a figment of my imagination. Ironically, some of the most unsympathetic responses I've heard have been from other women; from the high school nurse who offered me a peppermint, to the nurse at the hospital emergency room who told me that I'd just have to wait until I had my first baby.

In the harsh winters of the Yamal, roughly 150 miles above the Arctic Circle, rubber turns as hard as armor plating and steel rods snap like peppermint sticks. The permafrost is so thick during most of the year that the toughest of excavating equipment must be used to break through it; yet in summer the ground can turn into a quagmire that blocks both man and machine...
