Unlike Lynn, who rose to stardom literally from the backwoods of the south, Cline's path to the Grand Ole Opry seems to have been relatively worry-free, with random big-time record producers stopping her on the street and informing her that she is nothing less than the biggest talent to hit Nashville in generations...
...Petticoat Junction soundtrack picks up steam, the lights go up on a barren set featuring a homey dinette and two good ole' boys dressed for an episode of Hee-Haw, getting ready to broadcast the morning news over Greater Tuna's airwaves. And among the items of interest, we are informed that beef is up, pork is down, and tropical rainstorm Luther is headed directly our way just in time for rehearsals of My Fair Lady set in Polynesia at Greater Tuna High...
...that was long ago, and in this peppery account of his relationship with new Daughter Jenny, born when Baxter was 54 and already a grandfather by his "first litter," the Texan turns the tables. Although a reluctant father- to-be ("Lamaze, LaLeche . . . LeHusband"), the good ole boy becomes a good, if old, dad.

A career Navy man who retired as a chief warrant officer in 1976, Walker, 47, worked as a private detective in Norfolk, Va., dated a policewoman and loved to fly around in his single-engine plane. His three private-investigation firms supplied security services to companies as well as run-of-the-mill snooping for individual clients. But on a rural Maryland road one night last week, FBI agents caught Walker apparently pursuing another one of his businesses: supplying U.S. military...
