...SEEING IT: Shucks, there's something down-home and friendly about that good ole boy Lamar. Alexander is in desperate need of breaking through the clutter. The ad is designed to feature him as the easy-listening alternative to his shriller, more dour rivals. He's banking on his likability, trusting that voters have forgotten that he was the first Republican to go negative months ago. Another problem: his schoolteacherish diction seems designed to appeal to fifth-graders, and they can't vote in primaries...
...their way, and the daily walk to the yard has become the daily trudge. Now, it's not that slogging through inches of slush while dodging falling icicles isn't my idea of fun. It is. In fact, it's right up there with Tibetan yak racing and funnelling Ole Grand-Dad brand 140 proof whiskey. However, the number of miserable-looking people I've seen slipping and sliding on their way along the streets leads me to ask that question which I'm sure is on the minds of thousands of fellow Cantabrigians: why is Harvard incapable of clearing...
...verdict painted a very misleading and inaccurate picture of the L.A.P.D. and the officers who struggle to maintain order in a very complex community.

...post-hipster novelist (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) and legendary ingester of psychedelic substances, who paints his old friend in heroic strokes. "Not Elvis, not John Lennon. The Beatles were great, but they were a studio band. And Elvis was great, but he was a good ole boy, not a revolutionary. Jerry has been a revolutionary, a warrior, as long as I've known him. He battled for the American soul, out there on the edge of a dangerous frontier--battling the forces of the Grinch, the forces of darkness. It was a typical old flower-child battle...
...black agents describe a lonely, isolated life in a culture still dominated by attitudes carried forward from ATF's moonshine-hunting days. "With ATF it's always been the good ole boy system, white males from the Southeast," Albritton says. The generation of ATF officials who hired today's senior managers were typically men hired for their knowledge of Southern mores and their skill at outwitting deep-country bootleggers. Once these woodcraft experts reached positions of authority, says Larry Stewart, assistant special agent in charge of ATF's Atlanta office, "they hired people who looked like them, who talked like...
