Fathers, brothers, wives, children have scattered. Lucky just to arrive in the Flowery Flag country. I expected peace with no worries...

All the shops bake in small lots at frequent intervals so that the rolls will be as fresh and flexible as possible. Once cold, they turn leathery. Cinnamon Sam's rolls remain soft an hour or two longer without reheating, although they have no more flavor than others tried in Kansas City. Nevertheless, the buns have a huge following. "Cinnamon rolls are ageless," observes Rich Favaro, founder of Cinnabon in the SeaTac Mall in Federal Way, Wash. "Their...
