...advises, if the eyes are clear, the gills bright red and the flesh firm. The keys to successful sauteing are, first, patting dry the food, then hot fat and an uncrowded pan. A souffle has a much better chance of rising if it is put on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 400°, which is then immediately reduced...
...Russian banks in the West all rack up tidy annual profits, and they may soon do even better.

In contrast to the pickets who express their discontent by merely marching in circles, the McCoys are the kind of people who actively meet the needs of community life. Should hostilities cease tomorrow, McCoy would be looking for ways to build bridges of good will and mutual understanding. Ingenuity and creative action are part of his life style. HAROLD A.
