...Working at the Radcliffe College Fund during my first year at the College, I learned the fundraising lingo, learned about the prizes for those who raised the most and how to carefully ease alums toward a larger donation. But somewhere in the process of phone calls and free ice cream at Herrells I started thinking: "Someday I'll be one of those alums on the other end of the phone. Someday a student is going to be calling me and asking for a cash settlement for four years of easy living on campus." What would I decide? And more important...
...macaroni and cheese ($6.95) successfully updates the old standard with three kinds of cheese, and while the Egg salad sandwich ($5.25) is somewhat dry, the thin, skin-still-on french fries ($2.25) combine crispiness and tenderness to perfection. The frappes ($3.50) and ice cream sodas ($2.95) both made with Herrell's ice cream, are sublime.

But last week Sylacauga, like Jasper, became a chapter in the recent history of hatred...
...pain that circumcision inflicts on babies, usually during their first days of life, can be dulled by an analgesic cream or shots of local anesthetic. Amid all the other shocks and discomforts of adjusting to life outside the womb, it's unlikely the procedure would leave a boy with lifelong trauma. Complications are uncommon and generally minor, involving a little bleeding or inflammation (and not accidental amputation). Older boys who undergo circumcision are typically given general anesthesia...
