...virtue of cold arithmetic, Tennesseans granted that the Keef ought to keep his narrow edge in next week's primary election. The state's Negro vote (roughly 75,000) is with him, and so is much of the labor and big-city vote-with the exception of Memphis, in West Tennessee, where Tip Taylor's strength is greatest...

But in the refrigerators that cram its rooms are germs of the world's most terrible diseases. Close beside them are beneficial bugs that flavor cheeses, and turn grain into beer.

When gunpowder was introduced, cannon fired away at point-blank range across the narrow streets, and not a move could be made by day without a fusillade of gunshots. Food and ammunition were smuggled into the towers by night, and since the feuds sometimes went on for years, each newborn boy was hailed as "another gun for the family." Meanwhile, entire families of innocent bystanders...
