While all this is part of Carter's world, he is a Southern farm boy at heart who still knows how to turn sweet-potato vines, chop cotton and pull peanuts, and who looks homeward to a hamlet so archetypically Southern that it is almost parody. Beyond that, he is a bucolic devotee of hunting and bird 'dogs, stock-car racing and rock music -notably backwoods Georgia's own Allman Brothers. Says he of Georgia rockers in general: "They're good boys. I understand them...
...power struggle, but nobody dies. The splurge tommy guns, designed with the help of a gunsmith, shoot a substance that looks like deliquescent marshmallow. If anyone is hit by a fusillade of splurge-or, alternatively, with a custard pie in the kisser-their passing is denoted simply and rather sweetly by a frame freeze of their plastered visage. Ultimately, though, pies and even splurge become harmless in a raucous grand finale that finds the entire cast embroiled in an all-out battle of sweet shooting and pie heaving.

You know, I'm only 14, and I think I own the picture." He is already talking about turning pro, and so is his pal Scott, who is also keeping a veterinarian career in mind in case things do not work out. This slightly skeptical and eminently practical attitude probably has its origins in Scott's first taste of traditional show biz heartbreak. "You know," he says, "I wanted...
...corn and every potato myself and know it's all fresh." The prices are tasty too. Because there is no middleman, farmers can sell their produce at prices one-third to one-half less than in supermarkets. At the Greenmarket last week, a dozen ears of sweet corn sold for $1, as did 4 Ibs. of fat tomatoes. At a nearby supermarket, the same package went...
