...know it's surprising to see a different gas price every time you stop at a Texonobil. It's not like every time you go to Safeway, jujubes jump up or down 50%. But that probably explains why there aren't billion-dollar multinational conglomerates that drill for jujubes. Though, to be honest, I think that would be a wonderful world...
...Environment. Remember what Bush Senior called you? Ozone Man. Well, now is the time for Ozone Man to come out of the woods. Sure, Bush said yesterday that he was going to spend $5 billion sprucing up the national parks, but Americans only know that he wants to drill in Alaska, build hundreds of power plants, and keep his oil business cronies in the black.

John Henry Days indeed tackles a great amount of material but without any signs of overreaching or strain. The novel ripples outward from a central event: a three-day festival in Talcott, W.Va., commemorating the legendary black railroad worker who outhammered a steam drill but died in victory. Many of the ballads about John Henry place the epic battle he waged with the machine in nearby Big Bend Tunnel, and Talcott residents hope that John Henry Days will become an annual and tourist-friendly attraction...
