Ballistics experts have fired this type of bullet through 25 in. of tough elmwood and 47 in. of pine-and it has come to rest similarly intact (on the other hand, it has also been fired through cotton wadding and emerged misshapen). Lattimer has cut up two grains of this bullet's lead core and found they would yield 41 fragments-more than found in Connally's wounds. No one has estimated the weight of the metal X-rayed in or recovered from Connally at more than two grains. Thus, although this bullet is surprisingly undamaged, its condition...

Joe DeFrates, 67, of Springfield, Ill., winner of the California cookoff, concocted his "horse-and-buggy" chili from lean beef, peppers and his own chili powder. The Texas champion, Susie Watson of Houston, used a similar recipe, plus an arcane spice derived from pine cones.

...Radcliffe women, that is. It's hard to pin down the reasons for this, and of course they vary from case to case. One big factor is probably the fear that if you start something with a woman in your House, as opposed to a woman at Wellesley or Pine Manor, it will inevitably become something "intense." But another big factor is probably the mistaken impression that many men have that every Radcliffe woman has 2.5 men beating down her door. They just give up before they start. As a result, many of the women are developing all sorts...
