Why the Apple Is Not the Fruit of Eden
A reader asks why the apple is linked to the eve of temptation. The article explains the word confusion between fructum and pomum in Latin, notes Hebrew etz peri and Babylonian tablets, and cites Cassia fruit as a possibility. It also contrasts fig and sacred trees in various cultures and ends by stating the apple is a mistaken association.

BeWitched by Riley On Stage Legend of a Quick Silver Presence
A portrait of James Whitcomb Riley as a master showman whose readings drew unmatched roars and tears, bending perception on stage with glamouring suggestion. The piece contrasts Riley with ordinary reciters and cites Booth Tarkington on Collier's Weekly. It also recalls a Norfolk Chronicle tale of Little Gertrude and a child’s sly answer about money in a telephone inquiry.
