...Fielding's rueful music grows percussively insistent, and breaks into a Rod Hart song about how an Arizona morning could make a Prescott roamer almost want to settle down. The landscape is hard and scrubby, but its color is warm. This is home. Bonner stops at a gas station-fruit market, buys fuel, and apples, and feeds one to his horse. Another frontier Cadillac passes him when he's back on the open road, driven by two rodeo friends with two pretty young ladies. "How you feeling, cowboy?" calls one. "Lonely, right now." "Have a taste of our Sunshine...
...Strange fruit from a man who once seemed destined to be a scholar of Hebrew literature. The son of a Winnipeg rabbi, Steinberg left home at 15 to attend high school in Chicago, then went to Israel, where he earned a B.A. in Hebrew letters from an institute for foreign students.

Canadian laws permit railroads and shipping companies to offer combined freight rates at substantial discounts; such discounts are prohibited in the U.S. Even such distinctively U.S. products...
...statement that our "fresh fruit in Kirsh wasn't really: the fruit was canned, topped with a lone fresh strawberry, and what may have been a fresh banana" was the crowning blow, especially to the cook who spends considerable time peeling, coring and cutting up all that fresh fruit that really is. We have never used canned fruit and the supposedly expert taste that detected canned and the supposedly discriminating eye that saw the banana was wrong again. We don't put bananas, canned or otherwise, in our fresh fruit. Perhaps there is not a great deal of difference...
