History lies in wait in the woods that stretch 100 miles through East Texas to Louisiana, biding its time to strike. Towns like Jasper were the refuge for Confederate deserters who fled to the forests after the Civil War. The area became fertile ground for the Klan.

...accept a percentage of the company in return. For its part, Air France scrapped a two-tier pay system and promised the pilots that this is not the slippery slope to privatization. All well and good, but the fans still trapped at home by the World Cup carrier's strike will still miss Wednesday's Brazil-Scotland opener.
