1: Our beagle loves to hunt. When someone opens the back door for her, he barrels down porch steps into the yard. She runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbits, and she sniffs other presences too subtle for human detection. She spins her tail in quick circles firstly clockwise, then counterclockwise. Sniffing and spinning always occur together and they seem to propel her along.
2-Few people know about The Government Printing Office, source of much useful information, in Washington D.C. It is the official publishing house for the federal government. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents. Many of them are inexpensive. Even there is no charge at all for some of them.
