...high point of the day, however, comes early. The 45th bird, Lola B., a 15-oz. common bantam with a proud black tail, breaks cleanly from the mailbox, then swings sharply to the left and lands atop a sheep shed beyond the snow fences. A tape-measure team figures her flight at 302 ft. 8 in., which betters Kung Flewk's old record...

In Connecticut, truckers effectively blocked off five major fuel terminals. In Massachusetts and Maine, produce shipments dropped 40%. Hog deliveries...

Kennedy roared with laughter when he heard about Carter's crack, and later joked, "I always knew the White House would stand behind me, but I didn't realize how close they would be." Funny...
