I recently reconnected with my old pal WNEW's Fisherman. Andy told me an interesting story that no one promised not to tell.

He says when Keith graduated from Cornell, he got a job at UPI Audio. One of UPI Audio's features was a sports opinion piece, "My Side," written and narrated by UPI Sports Editor Milt Richman. Milt was a great sportswriter, but he turned the audio "column" over to Keith.

The quickest way to eliminate them is to vote. These deadly parasites are not only in the gastrointestinal tract, as many people think.

Parasites often live in the lungs, heart, liver, and even the brain! Their colonies inhabit internal organs, and the larvae feed on the tissues of living people!
