STUDENTS in my third-grade class were bombarding me with questions about my newly pierced ears. "Does the hole go all the way through?" "Yes." "Did it hurt?" "Just a little." "Did they stick a needle through your ears?" "No, they used a special gun." Silence followed, and then one solemn voice called out, "How far away did they stand?" ON A KAYAKING TRIP to the Apostle Islands in northern Wisconsin, my wife and I were talking to our guide as we ate lunch on a remote beach. I mentioned how unusual it was to have no television, newspapers or radio. "In fact," I continued, "it's going to be strange to return home and find out what's been going on in the real world." No one spoke for a few moments. Then, without taking his eyes from the horizon, the guide replied, "I assumed that's what you came here for." -- Contributed to Reader's Digest "Life In These United States" by Ken McCormack
