THE CINNAMON ROLE: MUCH OF WHAT WE THINK IS CINNAMON MAY NOT BE AT ALL
(Column ~ 04/18/01)
The Roman emperor Nero had a mercurial personality. For example, as Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat tells us in her History of Food, he killed his wife Poppaea by kicking her when she was pregnant, but then he gave her the most lavish funeral imaginable. He burned on her pyre all of the cinnamon in Rome...

(Local News ~ 04/18/01)

(Local News ~ 04/18/01)
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Joshua Wolf stared blankly at the wooden surface of the defense table at which he was seated while a prosecutor outlined the case against him before a jury Tuesday. But a short time later when a detective described in gruesome detail the condition in which the body of Wolf's grandmother was found in May, the 17-year-old buried his head in his arms and began quietly sobbing...

(Local News ~ 04/18/01)
Gardeners scrambled Tuesday to protect their tender plants from expected frost, just a week after some kicked on their air conditioners to deal with near-record heat.

CHAFFEE ACE MOWS DOWN WOODLAND
(High School Sports ~ 04/18/01)
CHAFFEE, Mo. -- It's scary to think how Matt Stroup would've performed had he been on top of his game. After striking out 11 batters in five innings, after facing two over the minimum, after not allowing a ball out of the infield, all Stroup talked about was his "poor" control...

MU SNARES 8-5 VICTORY OVER SEMO
(College Sports ~ 04/18/01)
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- If not for a spectacular catch by Missouri right fielder Wes Fewell, Southeast Missouri State University's baseball team might have been able to salvage a split of its two-game season series with the Tigers.

CAPE OFFERS PLENTY OF ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
(Editorial ~ 04/18/01)
"There's nothing to do" is heard a lot from youngsters. But when the speaker is an adult in Cape Girardeau, the statement becomes irritating. Even worse, it is way off base. Still, we hear it again and again, most recently because none of the local movie theaters showed "Pollock," although one of its stars won the Oscar for best supporting actress. ...

SPEAK OUT
(Speak Out ~ 04/18/01)
What has happened to this honorable tradition? All of the blustering and hyperbole aside, there is such a paucity of radical political thought in this country it is downright pitiful. LET'S HEAR it for a capital-gains tax cut.
