...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.

Haden first caught Jones on recordings, playing behind Parker. Haden had worked up a keen ear for all kinds of music from early on.

Apple is developing a competing system, called OpenDoc, that is supposed to run equally well on Windows, Mac and IBM's OS/2. But if a programmer...
Last week two of the five women also spoke to TIME. Both insisted on remaining anonymous for fear, they said, that by coming forward they would damage their career prospects and be stigmatized as troublemakers. (One remarked, "The good-ole-boy world is still the good-ole-boy world.") And though they work in separate parts of the operation and do not know each other, they both drew a picture of Bolduc as an executive lech, fond of sticking his tongue in the ears of startled women or slipping a hand up their dresses-all in the name of unbuckled...
