Eventually the hills fade and the woods become piney, and you can tell you're near the Gulf of Mexico when the cumulus clouds start to pile up on horizon. The Gulf Coast is part desolate and soulless tourist strip, cheap motels and nightclubs where groups like Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts play, and part fishing villages and marsh and swamp.

Groundbreaking ceremonies are planned for May 29, which would have been J.F.K.'s 59th birthday...
