...also stopped the Crimson's chances for a winning season. The procession of quarterbacks who followed St. John proved either incapable of leading the team, or got hurt before they had the chance.

"Burke can run, but even after he came back, his injury took that away," Restic says...

In "Food: Preparation, Production, Preservation," Ruth Anthony of Kansas City, Kans., talks about subsisting on wild plants (eat only the tender inner leaves of dandelions, the leafy tips of purslane). In "Guns and Reloading," Curt Putnam of Kansas City, Mo., demonstrates the best way of refilling shotgun shell casings...
