Bags of babies are found by trash compactors (as we all know); yet on the other side of this, a wounded American eagle was found recently in Maryland and rushed to emergency treatment.

Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the wall for his seventh graders, one of whom was the daughter of a local columnist. The columnist put it in the paper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from [sic] or what it really meant.

Two days later, she heard from Anne Herbert. Tall, blonde, and forty, Anne lives in Marin, one of the country’s ten richest counties, where she house-sits, takes odd-jobs, and Ê
