...hour, nonstop journey notwithstanding, we took off at 10 p.m. for Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, just around the corner from Ryman's Auditorium, the site of the original Grand Ol' Opry. Tootsie herself was clearing the bar early, since Nashville had been put on a tornado watch that evening. Nick and I managed two beers apiece, and I added my name to the tens of thousands that had already been scrawled on the walls in the back...
...many supermarkets, the usually frustrating chore of shopping for food has in recent weeks taken on something of the serendipitous air of an Easter-egg hunt. After years of seemingly nonstop prices, the costs of a growing number of items-eggs, mayonnaise, turkey, tuna, canned fruit-are actually turning down.

...Dusen had been a nonstop churchman, heading Union at its pinnacle of influence. He continued to be active in retirement until he suffered a stroke five years ago. Thereafter he had little pain and could walk with a cane, but his speech was largely incomprehensible-a severe frustration for a man who had had great verbal skill.

The sour news is that despite these reductions, supermarket prices are likely to continue rising for weeks before they decline or even stabilize, because the recent rapid series of wholesale boosts-seven in the five weeks prior to last week-have...
...which was at the receiving end of the line, was not at all happy. The new junta and American narcs quickly worked out a cozy arrangement. Five federal drug agents flew to Chile to finger smugglers. Chilean police arrested and eventually expelled the suspects on a nonstop flight to the U.S.-often after days of torture to check on any possible antijunta activities. The arrangement is still in effect, to the dismay of at least 16 Chileans who are currently being tried, one by one, in federal courts...
