...deeply influence Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix; after a stroke; in Macon, Ga. As a gofer for the Pinetoppers, Jenkins' college-circuit ensemble, Redding drove the band to Memphis, Tenn., in 1962 to make a record for Stax Records, and during a lull sang These Arms of Mine. When the song became Redding's breakthrough hit, Jenkins, who feared flying, opted not to tour with the rising star.

Is it because of two-career families? Ethnic diversity? The Internet? Suburban sprawl? Everyone has a favorite culprit. Mine is TV, but the jury is still...
...hard truths here for Australia and other mid-sized countries. For years, New Zealand has been viewed as a social and economic laboratory. Policy makers can see what works and what doesn't. Perhaps, as some are now suggesting, the Kiwi is becoming the canary in the coal mine of the new global economic order.
