Edgar Winters was just here, couldn't have been more than a month ago, because I remember making some witty remark about his new album's cover, surprise winner of last year's "Bad Taste in Album Design" award, just nosing out Mom's Apple Pie. My idea of a good time this last week has been walking the streets with an Edgar Winter--They Only Come Out At Night lapel button, with an eye towards passerby response. It's been minimal. Anyway, celebrate the collapse of another semester with Edgar Winter and scenic Boston's equally scenic James Montgomery...
...unsuccessful in their search for a coon. The family goes to bed hungry. Alone with Rebecca, Nathan Lee curses his existence, but she says "We've been through these hard times before, Nathan Lee and we've made it." "But made it to what," he asks, in a remark that captures the spirit of the evaluation blocks have been finally forced to make today...
...think back on it, in fact, it seems to me that the real thing about Dean Dunlop was that he was always good for a remark which could bring conversation to a dead halt.

Even F.D.R. thought Truman was in Pendergast's pocket; he asked the Missouri boss to get Truman's vote for Alben Barkley as Senate Majority Leader. Truman voted for Pat Harrison, observing: "They better learn downtown right now that no Tom Pendergast or anybody else tells Senator Truman how to vote." Re-elected to the Senate in 1940, he soon launched the Special Committee Investigating the National Defense Program-the Truman Committee-which was to help carry...
...snowcapped Andes of South America are a cruel and unforgiving barrier. When storms are brewing, plane crashes are frequent; invariably after an aircraft goes down, mountain people remark that "the Cordillera never gives anyone back." Last week, though, the Cordillera had been forced to give back 16 of the 45 people who had been aboard a Uruguayan air force plane that hit a mountain peak in mid-October. Incredibly, the survivors lasted for 73 days in deep snow and subfreezing temperature. They took extremely grim measures in order to do so-they ate the bodies of those who had died...
