...find out. But more than wanting to ruminate over darkhorse Jimmy Carter's staying power as a candidate for President in 1976, on a cold night two weeks ago I wanted to see the peanut farmer from Plains, Ga., and the surviving hero of Macon, Ga., Gregg Allman, stand together on the hustings down in the Providence Civic Center, and kiss each other on the cheek...
They didn't exactly kiss five hours later, but they did hug each other with evident enough emotion before 10,000 paying customers at The Allman Brothers Band-Jimmy Carter for President concert to leave me wondering what is going on in the New South--specifically, whether the kinds of minor generation-gap-bridging miracles taking place in the plush northwest suburbs of Atlanta are also taking place in Knoxville, Greenville, Pahokee, Biloxi, Bogalusa, Tuscaloosa, Arkadelphia, and Nacogdoches...
...toleration and progressivism in the Southern backwaters are not growing apace with Jimmy Carter's brand of toleration and progressivism, then the hug of Gregg Allman, and all that it represents in terms of Carter's easy-going, all-embracing campaign style, though remunerative ($6.50 tickets to the Providence concert drew almost 10,000 takers, while a $25-a-couple cocktail party drew only a couple hundred well-heeled citizens), may prove to be counterproductive.

In 1972 he advanced them $100,000, along with instructions to head for Colorado to get an act together. When the Eagles returned a month later, Geffen, who had become president of the newly...
Since they are no longer the hip Steve and Eydie of prime-time television, Sonny and Cher have been living their lives like a daytime soap opera. Just three days after the couple's June 27 divorce, you may recall, Cher married Rock Singer Gregg Allman. Her second try at wedded bliss lasted only nine days, however, before Cher returned to court to file for another divorce. Then last week while Sonny was plugging his new solo act on NBC's Tonight Show, who should stroll onstage for a surprise visit? None other than the prodigal Cher herself...
