The paper here lives off sports scores, I think.  That 
and the advertising sections.

Most likely.  He's tightly associated with the Celtics.  
Johnny Peski(sp) is associated with the Red Sox.  He died 
of old age about a year ago, but he'll always be part of 
Sox history.  Outside of the area, no one knows the name 
unless they know Fenway Park.

In other words, she lucks out.  I just found a friend a 
cast iron cleaning job, aka a sauce pan.  It was uncoated 
and rusty.  A good mineral oil bath ought to fix that.

In other words, Yugoslavia made better stuff than Yugos.

Probably.  It tasted good, it just didn't look pretty.

One hopes.  I made bread pudding the other day and 
managed to let the milk boil over as I was scalding it.

Mostly junk junk.  New stuff.  Ecch.
