True, the newspaper lives on, and I hope it still will be rich with the fragments of life of Greenfield. But the renowned iron patriarch that stamped these small stories into history has been whisked away to oblivion. A couple of muscular men from Kansas City, Mo., came through the print shop of the Adair County Free Press and wrenched out the press, hauling it off to a printing plant in Princeton, Ill. The paper will now be printed on a similar press 20 miles down the road and delivered to Greenfield by van--another change in the constantly shifting...
...chewing incident. Summer in America. Also a season for music: strutting macho megatours; draining weekend-long rock festivals; sweaty dance clubs throbbing with testosterone-filled techno. Dial up Ticketmaster; go to an outdoor alternative-rock show in a field, in a stadium; see the teeming, churning mosh pits, the muscular bare-chested frat boys, the sharp, scabbed elbows, the clomping Reeboked feet, the choking clouds of dust obscuring the stage...What if summer were different?

...most striking, and frightening, is Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm (Norton; 227 pages; $23.95). The somewhat peculiar title refers to the disastrous confluence of a large hurricane and a muscular nor'easter in the fishing grounds off New England and Newfoundland in 1991. The Andrea Gail, a 72-ft. offshore commercial swordfish boat, sank with its crew of six men in the monstrous confusion of air and water that resulted. A small sailboat, the Satori, also sank, though its crew was saved, and so did a powerful rescue helicopter that ran out of fuel, ditched and lost one crewman...
