...addition to the touching relationship that develops between Blondie and Carolyn, Altman (who co-wrote the story) presents lingering buffer shots of Seldom's jazz players at the Hey-Hey Club; an amusing ballot-stuffing sequence, headed by the ubiquitous Steve Buscemi as Blondie's sister's main squeeze; and even an odd story line about a young jazz musician and the pregnant 14-year-old he befriends. Rounding off the historical side are various pleasant touches: one political makes a mistake about a friend's wife ("Oh, Bess is Truman's wife!"); Blondie takes Mrs. Stilton...

The state is bickering about having to pay $200 million for public education by an order of the Supreme Court, but they'll spend $300 million to build a private driveway for a billionaire...
...local issues. (On the other hand, that didn't seem a good argument for staying home.) TIME has journalists based throughout the country. With Nation editor Priscilla Painton prodding them to think unconventionally and dig deeper, they spent months scouting out stories and reporting them in depth. She and Steve Koepp, in addition to spending time on the bus, edited the issue. It features the pictures of Diana Walker, who took a break from her usual assignment as our White House photographer to join us on the road...
