...Would Be Hell Without You" has phrases astonishingly like Jerome Kern's "Can't Help Loving That Man of Mine," and Leonard Bernstein could claim at least a one per cent royalty.

...money. Even when the organization was for all practical purposes not functioning a couple of years ago, someone was administering a loan-grant program with RUS money. This function continues--last year RUS gave 17 Radcliffe students money to work on projects related to women, including a study of Appalachian-women and observation of the U.N.

Certainly the New was already flowing when the movement of the continental plates thrust up the Appalachian Mountains, which are no youngsters as mountains go. While most Eastern rivers flow south and east and empty into the Atlantic, the New meanders north, cuts through the mountains and empties into the Ohio and Mississippi drainages. For centuries, in fact, it served as a highway for early Americans seeking to travel from East...
