...statesman is a politician with a paunch, then an elder statesman of rock is an outlaw who has honorably served his time. Next week Chuck Berry turns 61. But last week rock's black prince saw his time come again. It began with a standing ovation at the New York Film Festival for the world premiere of Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll, a slick, irreverent documentary with enough bop-till-you-drop golden hits to leave the springs broken in every Lincoln Center seat.

Garland Bunting talks too loud, wears store-bought glasses, doctors himself with coonhound medicine, and has such a sizable paunch that when he told a clothing salesman, "I'd like to see something to fit this," the man replied, "I would too." For more than two decades Bunting has also been a North Carolina legend, the pre-eminent undercover county revenue agent in a state where the making of illegal alcohol is considered next door to a constitutional right. Bunting has been so good at his work that many local folk assume he is "a conjure doctor," a devil...
