HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — The
safe, close-knit feel of Dartmouth
College was shattered Sunday by
the suspicious deaths of two popu
lar, longtime professors, a couple
described as the pillars of the Ivy
League school’s faculty.
Susanne and Half Zantop had
welcomed so many guests into their
home “they practically seemed to
run a hotel,” said colleague Bruce
Duncan.
The couple’s latest guests arrived
at their home Saturday evening, only
to find their hosts’ bodies.
Police were close-mouthed, say
ing little more at a brief news confer
ence early Sunday than that the
deaths were suspicious.
Investigators stationed outside
the couple’s home four miles east of
the campus stopped passing cars to
question drivers during the night.
However, officers told at least one
neighbor there was no cause for
alarm.
Guest Roxanne Verona and a
companion found the bodies about
6:30 p.m. Saturday, but police had
told them not to talk to reporters
about the discovery.

Dartmouth professor
Susanne Zantop, 55, was a pro
fessor of German and chairman of
Dartmouth’s German Studies De
partment. Her 62-year-old husband
taught earth sciences. They had been
instructors at Dartmouth for at least
25 years, said Edward Berger, dean
of faculty for arts and sciences.
“Everybody feels they were their
best friends because they were
friends to everyone,” said Susannah
Heschel, chairwoman of the
school’s Jewish Studies Depart-
Heschel said that when she and
her husband first came to Dartmouth
three years ago, the Zantops were
among the first to welcome them.
“As soon as we arrived here,
they invited us over constantly, they
included us in everything,” she said,
her voice cracking. “Everyone is so
shocked because their home was so
open to all of us. It just radiated
their warmth and for this to happen
in their home.”
Many of the college’s nearly
5,600 students learned of the deaths
in a campus-wide email from the
staff of the student newspaper, The
Dartmouth.
“I couldn’t breathe,” Kinohi
Nishikawa, a senior at the college
and a research assistant in the Ger
man Studies Department, said of his
reaction to the email.
During the holidays, Nishikawa
had visited a friend in Germany and
bumped into the Zantops, both born
in Germany, coming out of a theater.
“She was so nice,” he said. “She
welcomed us to Berlin.”

Van, tractor collision kills 10
News in Brief-
CHICAGO (AP) — Tongula Overstreet’s family
made a somber visit to a funeral home Saturday as they
attempted to come to terms with her death in one of the
state’s worst auto collisions.
“The more that we do, the better we are ... but this
is a dark, dark time for our family,” said her sister Rosie
Jackson.
Overstreet was one of 10 people killed Friday when
a Salvation Army van rolled across a median on Inter
state 55 and was struck by an oncoming tractor-trailer.
The van was carrying friends and family members to
visit inmates in two prisons.
All of the victims were from Chicago. Besides
Overstreet, those killed were identified as: Betty J.
Allen, 38; Miyuki M. Cannon, 34; TerriaT. Harrell, 23;
Rosie L. Harris 53; Jill Henry, 49; LaTanya P. Jackson,
16; Rev. Ralph J. Johnson, 73; Juan A. Ramos, 74; and
driver Garneal T. Matthews, 44.
The lone survivor from the van, a 24-year-old
woman whose name was not released, was in critical
condition at Loyola University Medical Center. The
truck’s driver suffered minor injuries.
Investigators from the National Transportation and
Safety Board (NTSB) are working with Illinois State Po
lice to re-create events leading up to the crash, said state
police Master Sgt. Moses Clay.
‘“With some witness testimony and the work of
our officers and the NTSB, we hope to at least be
able to provide some answers to the families in
volved,” Clay said.

Couple finds KFC recipe in home
SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (AP)
The handwritten note that Tommy
and Cherry Settle discovered in their
basement a year ago could be the an
swer to one of the country’s best kept
culinary secrets — Colonel Harland
Sanders’ recipe for fried chicken.
The couple bought their Shel-
byville home, a white mansion on
U.S. 60 West, from Sanders and his
wife, Claudia, in the early 1970s.
About a year ago, the two were
digging through a box of books from
the basement and found a leather-
bound datebook from 1964, Cherry
Settle told the Lexington Herald-
Leader.
Among appointments and other
notes was a recipe for fried chicken
that called for 11 herbs and spices,
she said.
It’s the same number that makes
up the recipe for one of the temples
of fast-food culture — KFC’s “Orig
inal Recipe” fried chicken. The exact
blend is a secret as well kept as the
formula for Coca-Cola.
The recipe is known by only a
handful of people, all of whom have
signed confidentiality contracts, ac
cording to KFC’s Website.
In putting the recipe together, one
company blends a mix that repre
sents only a part of the recipe. An
other company blends the remainder,
with neither company ever having
the complete recipe.
The Settles were considering sell
ing the planner through an auction
house, but first they contacted KFC
to see whether the company could
verify that the recipe was authentic.
Settle said.
“They didn’t say anything at the
time,” she said. “They just sent this
court document to us.”
Last week, KFC filed a sealed law
suit in Shelby County Circuit Court*
asking that the piece of paper found by
the Settles be given to the company.
Amy Sherwood, a spokeswoman
for KFC’s parent company, referred
on Saturday to a prior statement:
“While we think it improbable that
any individual has the secret recipe
to our famous fried chicken, we took
Mr. Settle’s threat seriously.”
Sherwood said she was referring
to the company’s allegation that the
Settles approached KFC looking for
payment for the datebook. Cherry
Settle denied that charge.
The judge handling the case,
William Stewart, said he plans to
sign an order unsealing the lawsuit
on Monday. The Sanders datebook is
now in a courthouse safe.
Sanders came up with the famous
recipe in the late 1930s for Sanders
Court and Cafe, his roadside eatery
in Corbin, Ky. Back then, the motel
and restaurant business seated 142
people. In 1998, more than 10,300
KFC stores generated about $20.6
billion.
