Horrified by the thought that The Horrors (they play garage/punk/surf music, in case you were wondering), would be gigging in stadiums by the time he could get to see them, Sam, with help and contacts from his father, a music industry veteran, found a venue and booked his dream band. Then it struck him that, even if they let him run the gig at a venue licensed for alcohol, he still wouldn't be allowed into his own club. In retrospect, Underage might now seem like an inspired...

Graham still was following politics, albeit from a safe distance now. Though he has never met John McCain, the evangelist recalled stopping in Hawaii on his trips to and from South Vietnam and praying on his knees next to McCain's father Admiral John McCain, then commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, for the son who was being held as a prisoner of war. He watched Mitt Romney wrestle with the Mormon question. "It will be somewhat of a problem for him, like Jack Kennedy being a Catholic," Graham predicted, although he believed Romney could overcome it by directly...
