...monitor at the Malkin Athletic Center reported three men entering without IDs. When officers responded, two of the suspects fled. After a brief foot chase, HUPD stopped the men and interviewed them. The suspects were checked for outstanding warrants, and HUPD confiscated two mountain bikes...
...room politics in more detail than Ambrose provides. Not unexpectedly, the G.I.'s chronicler prefers the front lines, where he is at his best describing men, armed with only hand tools, hacking and scraping their way over 2,000 inhospitable miles. When black powder proved too slow in piercing mountain granite, more powerful but dangerously unstable nitroglycerin was used--even though that meant more blasters would...

Coon, speaking in his kitchen, moments before his fate was decided, said he thought it was time to grow...

...excellent liner notes show due appreciation for Watson's legacy, but even in a brown paper wrapper this collection would be essential for anyone with an interest in acoustic steel-string guitar. Aficionados will regret the omission of the classic "Beaumont Rag," but flatpicking touchstones such as "Black Mountain Rag" and "Salt River" and the dazzling fingerpicking of "Doc's Guitar" demonstrate the power and control that put Doc Watson in the most rarefied of company...
