...time-honored system, and that drives the Teamsters, the trucking industry and various politicians and lobbyists right up the wall-all for different reasons." Atlanta's Marc Levinson found himself being driven right up the wall by the independent truckers for another reason. He was twice given wrong directions to a picketing site by truckers who, he concluded, "didn't know where they were striking...

From moment to moment, his urban streetside inflection breaks up the house, deliberately.
