...does an Eskimo keep himself warm? Arctic Expert Vilhjalmur Stefansson, in Natural History, explains: he fits his jacket tight around his neck and wears nothing but pants underneath. Dressed in clothing that follows this plan, an Eskimo is comfortable at 40° below. A Minnesotan, who wears three times as much clothing, says Stefansson, is rarely happy outdoors at this temperature...
...Bonanza, Cornucopia, Garibaldi, Grande Ronde, Depot Bay, and even to Sisters and Fossil. Wherever possible they stayed with local citizens, and Dick invariably managed to establish a personal identification with his audiences ("As my close friend Amos Buck of the Butchers' Union knows . . ."). With his sloppy green corduroy jacket and his pleasantly casual manner, Dick Neuberger wowed the home folks. Maurine took care of the women's clubs and the radio chats.

They have heart-shaped pockets with Kleenex in them in case he has to blow his nose. We wear matching costumes. He wears his red jacket when I wear red slacks and sweater. When I wear green, he wears green. He has a rhinestone...
...flaunt it." Few of the Southern housewives who buy Yerby's slick melodramas of sex, sadism and violence know that their favorite author is a Negro. Nothing in his stories of strutting white aristocrats, swooning heiresses and yassuhing darkies would declare it, and jacket blurbs, noting that the Georgia-born author formerly taught at Florida A. & M. and Louisiana's Southern Univesity, leave it to the reader to know that these are Negro colleges...
