Well, it's been a week of it. I never saw such heat in all my days. One morning at 5 a.m. it was 83, not one piece of breeze a blowing. I know I have drank enough tea and water to float a ship. I just can't stand it when it's 110, 108, 109 degrees day after day. Thank God my air conditioner held out and is doing fine. I could not go to the museum at all, it was like an oven in there. I had the freezer full of ice and making more. I've been living on tomato sandwiches and I love 'em. I cooked a big pan of fried apples and I'm still eating on them; they were so good, chunks of bacon mixed with the apples. My good friend, Mary in town, one of my readers, sent me a big rice pudding and 10 pieces of her barbecue chicken. That sure came in good, but I did have some trouble. Last Tuesday one o...
Among local brewers, JT Whitney's Badger Red Ale, with its clean, brilliant copper color and great balance, is a mainstay of the west-side brewpub. Downtown, the Great Dane is currently serving Aaron's Amber, in honor of home run king Hank Aaron. It is a little light, but a good, safe way to try this style. The Memorial Union's Rathskeller Amber Ale (Gray Brewing, Janesville) is also light on flavor, but relaxing on the Terrace improves the taste of all beers. On the east side, Ale Asylum's Madtown Nut Brown is exceptional for its hazy brown body, smoothly dominated by caramel, and for its lightly nutty, subtly dry finish. Co-owned by brewmaster Dean Coffey, formerly of Angelic Brewing, Ale Asylum held its grand opening the week before last. All of the brewpub's debut beers are well don...
NEW YORK - Americans talk skinny but eat fat. No matter that First Lady Michelle Obama has been on a crusade for a year and a half to slim down the country. Never mind that some restaurants have started listing calories on their menus. Forget even that we keep saying we want to eat healthy. When Americans eat out, we order burgers and fries anyway.
In the 2000 movie "High Fidelity," a guy named Rob voiced his lost illusions about women's underwear. He had dreamed he'd be surrounded forever by exotic women's lingerie. Then he found out, he said, that women just saved their best things for nights they knew they were going to sleep with somebody. Probably the rest of the time it's more like comfort bras and Jockey for Women.
This is the story of a man ill-suited to the stellar military career he achieved in a branch of the U.S. armed services that at the time was probably going to be put out of business. It also is a cautionary tale of the dangers of telling too much truth to power. Robert Coram, one of our better military historians, clearly has a fascination with men who march to their own war drums. Against that measure, Brute Krulak, as he was universally known, at first appears hardly the stuff of legend.
They are furry, fuzzy and friendly looking. However, they are not to be touched. Even so, sooner or later, if you have a hankering for drought-tolerant plants, you are bound to see them at the nursery and take one home. Just looking at any of them calms the nerves, not only because of their soft and whimsical appearance, but because they require the barest minimum of attention to grow. I am talking about three cactus species that you most likely have seen, here or there, but which you may not know much about unless you have a special fondness for growing them and their ilk. All of these cacti come from Mexico, will easily grow in the Valley, and placidly survive both droughty summers and freezing winters.

Spring is traditionally the season for relocation. Moving vans and rental trucks will soon populate Indiana highways, moving stuff from one place to another. College kids will move out of dormitories and apartments, back into their parents' basements for the summer. I count moving right up there with gum scraping and primitive camping at Salamonie on my Least Favorite Things list.
TO THE EDITORS: I am writing in reference to the article entitled, "Gone, but not forgotten," March 26. What a nice tribute to missionary Chester "Chet" Bitterman III who worked for Wycliffe Bible Translators, and was killed 30 years ago while on a mission.
