Seriously, the South isn't all cheerleaders, good ole boys and Baptist deacons, as you so richly imply. There is a new generation of Southern adults that well know how to discern a gator from a stump. You know, we've seen a good many gators down here. We just stay home when Nixon brings his carpetbags to town...
...Haggard well knows, a country singer must go forward, meeting and reflecting his public. Indeed, Haggard may still be belting it out in the 1990s, if the longevity of some of his older colleagues is any indication. Roy Acuff, dean of the Grand Ole Opry, is still going strong at 70.

Heath is faced with a crisis that shows no sign of immediate relief-and threatens to wreck the nation's economy. His confrontation with the country's coal miners has reduced Britain to such austerity measures to conserve energy...
...last reports Allen was mulling over the Graham offer. He'd like to have Ole Billy in his lineup. But until the 'Skins coach gives the go-ahead, Nixon will remain at president. He refuses to budget until he hears from Allen. The country awaits...
