In pickaxe2, Chapter 22: The Ruby Language, section Method Definition, 
p. 345, the listing for the general syntax of a method definition does 
not indicate that a rescue block can be attached to a method.  However, 
on p. 347 the text says,

"The body of a method acts as if it were a begin/end block, in that it 
may contain exception handling statements(rescue, else, and ensure)."

Also, in the same chapter, section Exceptions, p. 361, it says,

"A block or method may have multiple rescue clauses....When an exception 
is raised, Ruby scans up the call stack until it finds an enclosing 
begin/end block, method body, or statement with a rescue modifier."
