A thousand years from now, when other issues dominate the mass media of the day, William Faulkner will still be recognized (along with Shakespeare, Milton and others) as a giant among literary artists. William Faulkner used the myth of the South to embody universal answers to universal questions-not to explain the racial situation in the South...
...election in 1958, this time riding not another man's coattails but his own deeply felt convictions. He did not try to hide his dissatisfaction with the Eisenhower Administration.

The trend toward homes with patios and apartments with terraces has expanded the demand for outdoor furniture, and overall business has been helped even by the popularity of television.
