 Constance Companion The white, alabaster face that fills the screen has been crying, Michael Fellows observes, and instantly he is intriqued. How can he find out more about this marvelous creature? Is she still alive?
Passport When Jeff discovers that his Iranian-born wife's passport contains obvious errors, he is curious about it, but not overly concerned.
 Cabin Fever Solitude is good for creativity, right? So thinks mystery writer Pamela Johnson when she moves into the rural mountain cabin that her agent's arranged for her. Indeed, the remoteness seems to work to her advantage... until she meets Brian...

Oh! Swell! The subtitle of this month's health column is "Idiopathic Cyclic Edema in Healthy Young Women," and our first thought upon discovering this was something similar to "Oh, swell!" ourselves. However, although idiopatic edema primarily strikes young women (causing swollen ankles, facial puffiness, and sometimes shortness of breath), the information that Lisa relates may be helpful to other women who suffer from fluid retention and swelling.
 The Legendary Thomas McNiven No, that's not Thomas McNiven in the picture. He was the self-proclaimed Union "master spy" of Confederate Richmond. The only problem with his accounts that they cannot be verified in the "official record." What's his link with Confederate first lady Varina Davis? Read this article and find out!
Saving Southern Pride Kudzu Monthly welcomes back English contributor Tony Leather, who appears to have an endless curiousity about US history. In this article, he looks at southern statesman John C. Calhoun.
 The Flag Shishir Mohan is an engineer, author, and essayist who lives now in Texas. Before relocating, he lived in Louisiana, where passions about the rebel flag still run high. In this article, he relates meeting and, despite his mixed feelings, employing a sixteen-year old boy who has the Confederate Battle Flag on the back of his pickup truck.
 The Buick Bengal Buick's turning the double-ugly Pontiac Aztec into the reasonably sellable Buick Rendezvous is nothing short of miraculous in this automotive market. There are some innovative designers at work at this GM division, and here's the Bengal - a roadster prototype just for fun.
Thank you for reading Kudzu Monthly, and please come back next month. (Hey,
why not subscribe?) This month's last word column is
specifically for the folks in Georgia. Sorry about that, but we Georgians
have to decide something about this flag flap before
it gets ugly.
