Two predominantly black churches two miles apart in eastern Arkansas burned to the ground, prompting federal authorities to investigate. "They appeared to be wood-frame, small churches. They were pretty isolated. They literally burned to the ground," said Bill Buford, an agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Little Rock. The cause of the fires in the rural community of Turner was not known. St. Matthew's Missionary Baptist Church and the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church burned sometime before 2 a.m. Wednesday, Buford said.

My favorite is a children's book called "Keeping Score" by Linda Sue Park. Taking place in Brooklyn in the 1950s, this story focuses on 9-year-old Maggie (named for Joe DiMaggio) and her love for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Maggie learns several important lessons about life, including how to keep box scores and how to be a good friend to a local boy serving in the Korean War. A great portrait of a time and place - and a wonderful intro to box scores for this non-fan of baseball. - Melissa Henderson, Libertyville My favorite focuses on a sport that no longer claims public attention as it did in the era portrayed in the book: "Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand.

When Frankfort Police Chief Darrell Sanders attended the FBI Academy in 1982, he had to pass a strenuous physical exam. At the same time, village officials installed a small workout facility in the police station in town. Sanders put the two together, formulating a plan that would allow fellow officers to be as fit as their boss, and also keeping himself in shape. For years, Sanders would run around the streets of Frankfort on his "foot patrol," logging up to 5 miles a day, 5 days a week.

A book that arrived last week sparked musings about the burgeoning industry of food lit titles, a category that has exploded in recent years and seems to keep building. By food lit, we mean books that are not cookbooks, but instead tackle topics in the world of food from memoir (such as "Heat," by Bill Buford) to food activism (Michael Pollan) to history. That last category includes the excellent work of Mark Kurlansky, author of several works that tell the history of the world through a single foodstuff: "Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World," "Salt: A World History" and "The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell.

The battle among book publishers for the rights to the original draft of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," which includes unpublished material, has begun in earnest now that the three parties claiming ownership have reached their own settlement. The discovery in 1990 of the first half of the handwritten manuscript, which had been presumed lost for more than 100 years until it was found in a California attic, provides a gold mine for scholars. Victor Doyno, a professor of English and American literature at the State University of New York at Buffalo and president of the Mark Twain Circle of America, likened it to "the British finding a working manuscript of `King Lear' or `Hamlet.
