Other stories include those of: • A soldier’s last gift to her young daughter at home • A tribute to one of the first African-Americans to serve as a Naval Officer • A pilot rescued after his F-16 is shot down • A judge who sentenced a fellow veteran to jail, then joined him in his cell for the night to help him through his PTSD • An American soldier who takes a big risk to save a dying Afghan girl This book gives a complete perspective on the hell that is war, the love that grows from camaraderie, the pride from accomplishing the impossible, the humor that springs from the military bureaucracy, and more. A chronological retrospective of the best military pieces Reader's Digest has run, Reader’s Digest Soldier Stories honors the men and women of America’s armed forces.

More than two dozen gripping tales of murder, kidnapping, robbery, and much more from the Reader’s Digest archives.

Now we’ve pulled together a collection of more than two dozen of these gripping narratives, including: A woman’s account of being taken hostage by a convenience store robber True crime writer Ann Rule’s encounter with Ted Bundy before she knew he was a killer The case of the man who rigged the lottery The inside story of how Al Capone was finally arrested for tax evasion The unlikely tale of a widower father who enlisted his teenage son and daughter to help rob banks These modern classics are for crime aficionados and novices alike, tantalizing enough to hold your attention yet brisk enough to be your best beach or book club read. Enjoy the ride with an airplane bomber, an identity thief, and a Bonnie-and-Clyde team living on borrowed time. (Enjoy even more their comeuppance.)

Word Power Quizzes and Quotable Quotes from America's Most Popular Magazine

Want to feel smarter?  Want to have the perfect quip at the tip of your tongue?  Use Your Words combines Word Power Quizzes and Quotable Quotes from Reader's Digest, Amercia's Most Popular Magazine so you can do just that!

Use Your Words is part word quiz book and part quote book, combined together in themed sections.  It will be a combination of 2 of our most popular columns in Reader's Digest Magazine--Word Power and Quotable Quotes.

Quotable Quotes, as it appears today, first ran in January 1934. It was proceeded by similar quote columns, including Remarkable Remarks, which ran in the first ever issue of Reader's Digest in February 1922, and Significant Sayings, which ran in June 1922. These first columns featured the great minds of the day, including Herbert Hoover (before he became president), Lady Astor, and John D. Rockefeller. The quotes were, and continue to be, collected from a variety of books, speeches, journals, and articles. We've quoted both living and dead people. 

The column hasn't changed much, except for the art. It began as a one-page list of quotes and continues to be a one-page list of quotes.

Quotable Quotes is second to Laughter the Best Medicine in column popularity.

Word Power first ran in January 1945--January 2020 will mark 75 years.

Word Power's creator, Wilfred Funk, was a poet and lexicographer--his family was the "Funk" of the reference publisher Funk & Wagnalls. He presented his quiz idea to Dewitt Wallace in 1944. Wilfred's son Peter Funk wrote the column from the 1960s to the 1990s. Current writers are a married couple who are well-known in the crossword/puzzle world: https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/wordgame/crbio.htm [https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/wordgame/crbio.htm]

The column hasn't changed much--it has 15 words now instead of 20. It has themed columns (car words, Italian words) rather than words based on RD. It has a sidebar that goes in-depth on something related to the theme.  Word Power is our 3rd most popular column in the magazine.

Tasty Remedies to Treat Common Conditions

Heal What Ails You with Delicious Superfoods!

Discover the incredible healing power of everyday food--treat the most common conditions naturally, safely, and deliciously--and live pain free, allergy free, disease free, and worry free.

Clean out your medicine cabinet and restock the shelves of your kitchen pantry with healing and appealing items from the grocery store. Rely less on pills and more on real food. How much? How often? In Food Cures, you'll find all the answers, the research-validated treatments, and successful cures for dozens of common conditions. The past ten years have been filled with intriguing announcements from the world of medial research. Forget about wonder drugs; we're living in a time of wonder foods. The foods described in this book are nutritional powerhouses bursting with compounds that have specific and well-defined health benefits.

Changing your diet won't guarantee that you'll never get sick or need drugs, but eating the right food can help heal what ails you and can bolster your body's defenses against disease, treat disease directly, aid in weight loss, and even slow the aging process.

 Healing foods section includes:

 * A rainbow of fruits and vegetables (8 to 9 servings a day)--the wider the variety the better--will lower the risk of an array of cancers
 * Kale, spinach, and other dark leafy greens, which in addition to protecting your eyes from macular degeneration, are high in vitamin K which can help maintain bone density
 * Ancient grains such as quinoa, teff, farro, and millet, are great sources of fiber and provide antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to support immunity and fight disease
 * Dark chocolate contains hefty amounts of disease-fighting flavonoids and can significantly improve blood pressure
 * Olive oil lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol and raises "good" HDL cholesterol



 Cures for common conditions include:

 * Allergies: when the trees bud and grasses sprout add more salmon and other fatty fish, garlic, onions, yogurt with live cultures, and sweet potatoes to your diet
 * Colds and flu: chicken soup is not just an old-wives tale, chicken soup plus lots of water, decaffeinated tea, and juices really can help
 * Gum Disease: A squirt of lime juice can help your mouth battle bacteria plus lean beef (rich in zinc and vitamin B6, whole-grain cereal with milk and a glass of orange juice, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants
 * Insomnia: Grandma prescribed glass of warm milk really works. Plus whole grains, chamomile tea, red meat, shellfish, tofu, lentils and other iron-rich food
