Last March they spent $2,400 on storm windows. After the installation of a second wood stove this winter, they expect to shut down their old oil furnace for good.

Said Dr. Nunez: "Roberto wasn't beaten by Sugar Ray Leonard. He was beaten by two sirloin steaks...
...right, class, settle down. Today, for our course on human behavior, we are pleased to have three distinguished guests who will present a lecture and demonstration on the way man's brain determines man's actions. The seminar will be led by Dr. Henri Laborit, the Paris physician and biologist who has documented the source of aggression in all mammals-from white rats up through the most sophisticated human beings. To illustrate his thesis with scenes from the lives of three ordinary people, we have engaged the services of Jean Gruault, who has written some of the finest...
