...greatly heightened interest in cooking. No self-respecting cook would be without at least the culinary big four-thyme, basil, parsley and oregano-to which most gourmets would add rosemary, savory, sage, saffron, sassafras, tarragon, mint, chives, dill, lemon verbena, marjoram, fennel, sorrel, chervil, coriander, cumin, caraway and celery seed. From ajowan to zedoary, there are hundreds of other herbs available, in 17th century Herbalist John Parkinson's phrase, "for use and delight." To the delight of the vast army of health-food enthusiasts who use herbs, most of them are grown organically without chemical fertilizers or sprays...
...eastbound lane of the Ohio turnpike. The driver makes lusty love to a red-shirted girl lying on a blanket on the median strip.

You permitted us to see that our founding fathers were not larger than life, except in the ideals that inspired them. This is an invaluable lesson for our time. Thanks for teaching it with such lively imagination...
High Cost. So far only two candidates, Alabama Governor George Wallace and Washington Senator Henry Jackson, have met the requirements, Wallace almost entirely through direct mail drives. But these are expensive and require an outlay of "seed money" before the donations roll in. Official reports turned in by Wallace indicate that he began his solicitations as early as 1973, raising $1 million, picked up another $1.7 million in 1974 and more than $300,000 early this year. But he recorded only $216,354 cash on hand in his last report (in March), an indication of the high cost of raising...
