...spiritually disorienting to see a black driving a car with Alabama plates and a Wallace bumper sticker. It is surreal to walk into Wallace's state campaign headquarters, a neobellum low-rise former furniture store on the edge of Montgomery. There, amid the deep shag carpeting and the clickity-click of computer printers churning out voter lists, sits Mrs. Ollie Carter, a black Wallace worker.

Her hairdresser, Kevin Shanley, 25, who works in a South Kensington salon prophetically named Headlines Hair and Beauty Salon, confirms rumors that her locks are touched up with "a little blond highlighting" (or Di-lighting). Hairdressers throughout Britain are being besieged by young women who, as they say, demand...

...Florida, everybody believes in the magic of spring training. The optimism of the next few days--Joe Rudi can probably shag flies in the Florida sun as well as or better than Freddie Lynn; after all, he's been doing it longer--will be like a March afternoon spent in the stands at Chain-O-Lakes--pleasant, but not very meaningful...
