In Indiana, everyone knows the best restaurants to get the best pie, fried chicken, tenderloins and yes...fried brains.

From the neighborhood markets to the supermarkets of our past

The prolific and multi-Oscar-winning director Robert Wise always credited his Indiana roots for his strong work ethic in Hollywood.

He wired a shotgun to a mortgage banker's neck and abducted him on live TV, but he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

William Edouard Scott and John Wesley Hardrick both studied under famed Impressionist painter Otto Stark at Manual High School.

Four boys were executed in a Parke County, Indiana, mobile home on Feb. 14, 1977. There was only one survivor: Betty Jane Spencer.

From restoring a corset to avoiding banana unpleasantness, some of these hints are still helpful today.

After nearly 100 years, the northern Indiana resort and amusement park closes. The park near Monticello was originally named Ideal Beach.

Many slave women outlived their children and husbands or were abandoned by them. They had no where to turn.

Animals were burned alive in a fire that swept the winter quarters of Cole Bros. Circus in Fulton County, Indiana, on Feb. 20, 1940.

Memories of our most beloved amusements

A look at Indianapolis after the turn of the 20th century

The Indianapolis News was a sponsor of the Central Indiana Regional Science Fairs.

There were no fewer than 30 White City amusement parks across the world. They were inspired by the Chicago World's Fair.

If Indianapolis had a spokesman, it was Jim Gerard. The Jim Gerard Show was a stop on many celebrity tours — bringing in stars like Bob Hope.

A Victory arch greeted the troops as an official welcome home

In stark contrast to the Armistice Day in 1918, Indiana celebrations of victory in Europe in World War II were somber and subdued.

PEACE and VICTORY were the headlines as the U.S. defeated Germany.

Kat (Monday's letters) the pedants' plural for the octopus is 'octopodes' since the word is of Ancient Greek rather than Latin origin - this is why the pedants' word for 'Latin name' for a species is 'scientific name', since not all species names are in Latin. For regular folk ˜octopuses" are perfectly acceptable; this also avoids invoking James Bond film titles. Pedants may wish to note that Octopussy wasn't a James Bond book title in itself... I could go on; the world of the pedant is a Mandelbrotian nightmare. I'll get my anorak.

Kat, (Monday's letters)
modern dictionaries say 'octopuses' or 'octopi' are acceptable, but marine biologists prefer 'octopodes'. Although quite how you could make something of that in Scrabble, I have no idea...

To Rob Falconer (Monday's letters), I don't know why you're worrying about that rabbit eating 50 quids worth of lettuce and carrots or whatever. He'll still have three quid left over for frivolities such as visiting the Bunny Club.
Emigrant, Marseille, France

Kat, actually it's octopodes as the root word is Greek (eight-footed) not Latin. Yours in Pedantry.

I'm aware that Lady Thatcher is dead, but the Magazine Monitor is more important.

Oh, poor PM. I recommend a nice cup of hot cocoa, some biscuits, and a good thoughtless movie on the telly. Maybe an early bedtime, too.

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Margaret Thatcher's ability to kick off what Mrs Merton used to call a heated debate, is apparent on today's front pages.

The Sun has commissioned a poll of Britain's favourite prime ministers. "Maggie wins again!" it cries. Margaret Thatcher pushes Churchill into second place, and Clement Attlee can only manage 5%, behind Tony Blair and Harold Wilson.

In the YouGov poll of 1,893 adults, poor old Ted Heath and David Cameron finish with nil points. Pitt the younger doesn't get a look in either although that's because the poll confines itself to post-war leaders.

The Times strikes a conciliatory note. "Royal respect as Queen leads Thatcher mourners." The paper says that whatever misgivings the Queen may have had about Thatcherism have been put to one side. "The conjecture that the Queen was fundamentally opposed to much of what her longest-serving prime minister stood for will be forgotten in the significance of the moment."

"Operation True Blue: Thatcher funeral in security clampdown," warns the Guardian about fears that the funeral service may foment civic unrest and terrorist attacks.

The ipaper risks not only spreading alarm and confusion but enraging pedants. "Britain at war over Thatcher funeral". Erm, tanks on the streets, pitched battles? Oh, not literally.

The Daily Mirror goes in hard but with better grammar. "The £10m goodbye. Why is Britain's most divisive Prime Minister getting a ceremonial funeral fit for a Queen?"

It may not come as a total surprise to find that the Daily Mail is angry. Very angry. "The flames of hatred: 30 years of Left wing loathing for Lady T explodes in sick celebrations of her death." (There's also a medium range ballistic missile launched from page 10 at the good people of this parish...)

The Daily Telegraph tries to calm things down. "No gushing hysteria, just quiet, dignified respect" is the headline over Michael Deacon's report from Finchley, the Iron Lady's constituency for 33 years. A local recalls how she had a soft spot for a bar called Cheers.

"She would pop in and have a drink. Denis would have gin and tonic and I think she would have a glass of wine...She was very approachable and friendly." It's cosy and sepia tinted, like the credits of Coronation Street relocated to prosperous middle class suburbia.

But amidst all the gentle colour, the writer can't resist one pot shot at those celebrating Thatcher's death. "For those who insist that Left-wing ideology is motivated above all by compassion for others, this must be a difficult week." Ouch!

Which leaves one paper not doing Thatcher on its front page. Come in Daily Express, your taste for bathos knows no bounds. (Yes, even the Daily Star splashes on the funeral costs). "Gel to wipe out arthritic pain" runs the headline.

And on that bombshell...

Duncan: "Pedants may wish to note that Octopussy wasn't a James Bond book title in itself"
No, but it was itself in a James Bond book title: "Octopussy and the Living Daylights", a book of (two) short stories by Ian Fleming published posthumously.

Duncan (Tuesday's letters) - surely that should be "species' names"? I'll get my apostrophe.

Really, it's their own fault for delaying this so long - had they done it earlier, there'd be less history to teach.
