I think it's a moment everyone goes through. And that's exactly what was happening with the country at that time. America decided after World War II that this is the way life is, this...
...having to take their first test, and can't quite get away with giving true-or-false answers to the essay questions. Yes, they all support the American troops.

This middle-aged man is still deeply touched that the great Joe DiMaggio would take that time with me, and no doubt thousands of other young men. To me, that will always be the measure of his greatness. GARY DEWITT Tahoe Vista, Calif...
...native, it outbreeds and outeats the local fauna. That's why the Easter Bilby has caught on. The beady-eyed 5-lb. marsupial is on the endangered-species list thanks to rabbits, but its candy version has prospered, scoring 10% of all the country's Easter-chocolate sales. Somehow the Playboy Bilby doesn't seem as cute an idea...
