...only Claudia Sanders restaurant is the Colonel's own, located in Shelbyville, Ky., where he lives. Thus most fast-food fans will have to travel a long way to find out if the Colonel is as handy with a lobster tail as he is with a chicken...
...eyes become cat's orbs that crawl back in her head; her skin swells and turns a swamp color; her hair gets sticky and snaky; her voice comes out the croak of a just-cured male mute; convulsions contort her body and it flips like a wounded crocodile's tail; she drools green gook when she is not squirting vomit (pea soup) into the faces of the psychiatrists and priests who come to treat her.

During their observations of Kohoutek, they have watched its tail double in length to more than 10 million miles. The science also had some light moments. In a radio conversation with his wife, Carr told her that some of the gypsy moth larvae that the crew had carried into space had finally hatched. "Good, you are a father again," replied the mother...
