...when it's just the Domino's Pizza man. In cities large and small across the West and Midwest crank belt, from Oregon to Iowa, where the drug is known as the poor man's cocaine in towns that barely had cocaine in the first place, the drug arrives nonstop from every direction and by every imaginable route. Wrapped by the ounce and the pound in duct-tape eggs that can be stashed in the air vent of a car, crank comes up the interstate from California and Mexico, where it's produced in massive quantities by organized criminal gangs...
...such solitary crank use isn't the norm in Billings. Crank is a party drug here, a social thing, smoked, injected and snorted by tight-knit groups holed up in houses behind blacked-out windows, talking nonstop about their hopes and dreams and smoking a joint now and then or drinking a beer to mellow out the high...
...Asian leader who has met him says, "He can't listen. He never stops talking." Newspaper publisher Aristides Katoppo remembers joining Habibie for a meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister in 1993.

Scotty Morris, 30, bandleader for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, another brisk-selling swing act, says his classmates at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood would play Sinatra records "nonstop." That was 10 years ago. Frank is still his hero. Says Morris: "Musicians have always loved Sinatra and will always love him." Duplicating him, though, is another matter...
...have to worry about down-time: the Disney theme parks are only a little more than 50 miles away (but save enough energy for the nonstop pace at Space Camp). Other local points of interest include the Brevard Community College Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory (planetarium shows, a rooftop telescope, space museum and hands-on exhibit hall), the Piper Aircraft factory (where those interested in aviation on a smaller scale can tour the assembly plant) and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (for living proof that nature and technology can coexist peacefully). Finally, you'll want to reserve time...
