...sides began to form--primarily between the liberal Cambridge Civic Association and the conservative Independent slate, with some noise from the radical Grass Roots Organization--it became apparent that the CCA slate was being hurt as much by the incumbent CCA majority council's failure to appoint a new city manager and the inordinate amount of time it took to reach any decision at all on the matter, as by the internal political splits which resulted in the formation of the GRO with Saundra Graham at the head of its slate...
...mustache and trademark eyebrows are snow white, and Wayne Morse looks his 73 years. But he refuses to act the senior citizen.

You have to be amazed at Earl's adaptability: from being a plain Carolina picker he came to see the inevitable musical future, and made it work.
