Also: Why were Tre'Quan Smith and Jameis Winston yelling?
| By Bob Warren 'Horrible, unethical . . .': A 98-year-old World War II veteran wanted his wife to donate his body to medical science. David Saunders of Louisiana hoped to keep serving even after his death. So how did Saunders’ body end up on a table in a Portland, Oregon, hotel meeting room, being dissected for a paying audience? His widow, as you can imagine, is horrified, reports Lea Skene, who has been tracking this head-scratching story. Vaccine mandates: New federal vaccine rules take effect today and give people who work at companies with 100 or more employees a Jan. 4 deadline to get COVID vaccinations or face weekly virus testing. The rules are even tougher for people who work in nursing homes, hospitals or other places that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. Here's the latest. Unique perspective: Katherine Klimitas creates her art from a different perspective – she paints while lying on her side. The accomplished Metairie artist – she’s published a book and owns a graphic design business – has a disease that makes her bones brittle. Lying down, Suzanne Pfefferle Tafur writes, allows Klimitas to work for longer periods. 'Just communication': It was the other guy: To say it can get, uh, a touch heated on the sidelines of an NFL game is an understatement. A couple weeks ago the TV cameras caught Tre’Quan Smith and Jameis Winston of the Saints in a somewhat heated exchange during the Seattle game. This week Smith said it wasn't as bad as it seemed and explained what happened. Hope you enjoyed the Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us today. BW |
