Hank III, whose real first name is Shelton, has the weakest set of lungs in the dynasty. He also freely concedes that his songwriting chops don't rank with his grandpa's. The exquisite gift the youngest Hank has inherited is a stone-cold ability to create music about the battle between Saturday night and Sunday morning that rages in the mind of a drinker who wants to stop. When Hank III describes the joys of booze, the guitar boogies along just loud and hard enough--and without weighing down the melody--to suggest the pleasure he finds. When...

Last week the preparation for presenting the final options to Bush hit a brief snag. On Thursday, Shelton reviewed the plans with Army General Tommy Franks, commander of Central Command, and with the commanders of the U.S. special forces. There was something in the plans that Shelton didn't like--"He wasn't comfortable with the targets," says a source--but by Friday the brass was ready...
