By Mark Gates | October 5, 1989

By Gina Quilici | October 5, 1989

Cow tipping is one of the oldest forms of troublemaking known to the residents of a farm town. DeKalb and the surrounding areas are no exception. As a matter of fact, with Northern Illinois University so close, it would seem quite likely that DeKalb area...

‘Heroes Stand’ disappointing

By Vittorio Carli | October 5, 1989

Klutzy columnist creating havoc

By Lynn Rogers | October 5, 1989

Zsa Zsa, really. What did you expect? Come on, now. You can't slap an officer of the law and expect to get off easy. Maybe you could have traded your autograph for the sentence you'll receive. Oh, Darling, isn't life hard? What's odd about the whole Zsa...
