Stratton of353 Phyllis Ave. Here it is: From 54 right down to zero,Just the weather to become ahero. One day cold, next one hot.Got to take it, able or not. Mounds of snow, four hands high. Polar bears wave as cars skidby.Penguins roosting on Arctic ice, Envy our winter, think it nice. Driveway blocked; back all shot. Days of youth gone to pot.Old bus coughs, gives up the ghost.Just at the time one needs It most. Traffic is stalled, buzz and spin. Tires and tempers wearing thin. Skies getting darker than ever before. Weather man says were due for more. Zip up the parka, north windblow.Live on blubber, like tEskimo. th/ •BUFl^LO COURIER-EXPRESSTuesday.

At the Boston Public Library,Martin Waters of the history de-partment dug into the subjectand came up with a verdict: Lincoins hair was black, just aseverybody believed. Several books refer to his hairjas
