...HOME TOWN This fond but completely unsentimental portrait of Northampton, Mass., captures the joys and the sheer human cussedness on daily display there. Tracy Kidder lives nearby, and he spent years listening to his neighbors and walking their streets. His book is an extraordinary feat of reporting and writing, a vivid reminder both of why so many Americans flee the small towns of their birth and why so many of them miss the sense of belonging that such places inspire...

If Ivester seems almost uncomfortable outside the world of the beverage business or his native Georgia, Daft is a jovial former math teacher with a wry sense of humor, a diverse range of interests and a creative streak. He pushed to develop Coke's biggest seller in Japan, for instance, and likes to joke that...
