Journalist and author Denis Collins was used to writing other people’s stories. His novel, Nora’s Army, tells the tale of the thousands of desperate U.S. veterans that invaded Washington in In 1932. But as Juror Number Nine in the high-profile case of White House Aide Scooter Libby, Collins was part of the story.

Swan Songs
Our imminently arriving tundra swans whistle their way through life.
by Dotty Holcomb Doherty
There’s more to Leonardo than the Mona Lisa
Lay your hands on 16 machines made from the master’s sketches.

The Living — and the Dead
Veterans like Dick Johnson are the lucky ones
Read your history.
–Richard Riley Johnson, Deale
To my way of thinking, at Veterans Day — or Armistice Day, as Nov. 11 was once called — everyone should take Dick Johnson’s advice.

Catching Falling Leaves
Put those leaf piles to work in your yard and garden
Think again before cursing leaves as they fall to the ground. Leaf litter works to your advantage. First, leaves are nature’s perfect mulch, yours for free. Second, leaves lure us outside for quality exercise in raking and moving them from place to place. To get the most out of your free annual supply of leaves, follow the Bay Gardener’s advice:

Not So Pretty a Picture
Glossy magazines look good but add to the gunk-stream
It’s no secret that glossy coatings on magazine covers make pictures pop and attract the eye, helping publications compete for attention on ever more crowded newsstands. Publishers are increasingly putting the emphasis on graphics and photography, and glossy papers have become the industry norm for both covers and interior pages, according to Jerry Stranahan of Lane Press, a Vermont-based printer that produces some 350 magazines. Yes, this includes many outdoors and nature titles.

Three On Top
Dramatic new lures add to the top-water thrill
Topwater-lure fishing is the most sensory-intense of all the shallow-water angling techniques on the Chesapeake. You see and hear the fierce explosion of the strike, feel the immediate surge of the fish’s power when you hook up and marvel when a big striper throws a shallow-water tantrum.

From Here to There
Rivers and streams connect Garrett’s mountains to Chesapeake Bay
I think we forget how diverse the state of Maryland is, with its expansive tidal reaches, bustling metropolitan areas and, of course, the ancient Appalachian Mountains.
