Fruit! Fruit! Fruit!!! Interview-of-the week was had by Newswoman Alice Rohe. She told the now stark-bald Dictator that he looked younger than he did 13 years ago when she first knew him, coyly asked his secret...
Southern novelists from Stark Young to Erskine Caldwell have written of small sections of their native regions, but have attempted no comprehensive pictures of Southern society as a whole.
