...station, listening to the tape I made of Jernigan's performance, I think of William Carlos Williams' line, and it occurs to me that in this quixotic adventure, I'm following those same currents of refined obsession, trying to claim a small, evanescent patch of the American fantasy. The maverick creative spirit that animated Henry Ford and Les Paul and Elvis is fully manifest in this impossible instrument, which is as crazy and American as it gets...
...even with his new, more subtle and consistent, songs, Yoakam-decked out as always in his trademark '50s-style embroidered jacket, skin-tight faded jeans, cowboy boys and cowboy hat-still offers a maverick interpretation of country music that pushes the genre to evolve beyond its established heritage.

Last week STUART STEVENS, who works with McKinnon, was the final top Bush aide who had access to the debate materials to be interviewed by the FBI. Stevens, who has expressed the opinion that someone with ties to the Democratic Party broke into Maverick through the next-door office of the firm Waterworks, spent roughly two hours answering questions and pressing his theories. The FBI did some brief questioning next door but was more interested in looking at the Waterworks postage machine and taking samples from its copier. But those actions, say sources close to the case, have more...
