Kansas 40, Nebraska 15. 'Nuff said. There are writer's at WDC whose parents weren't born yet the last time KU won in '68.

Ate a persimmon in celebration.

1/2 hour before game time, 59 degrees. 51 in Lincoln, NE.

Soon, Amy and I will part the Red Sea and go to the game. The cheap seats await us.

Good news last night. Nobody died.

With the appropriate gesture, Delaney Firns: "I nose what yer talkin about."

SENSED YESTERDAY AT THE FUNERAL:

Soft warm grass; rough bark; feathery larch needles; fragrant stock, rose and lily; three colored leaves; hole bored to receive the ashes in the urns; Amazing Grace; a smiling picture of a teenaged Jason; his mother's wit.
