...aluminum construction hat glinting in the bulging evening-got-up-in-drag-as-afternoon sky. Ruddy bearded and freckled all over and pale where his clothes would have been, he said the tub would soon be filled. His kids screamed about with the ducks and geese--silently, Peanut, his youngest daughter, tottered out of the outhouse trailing her pants about her ankles. Bridget and Jenny collected rocks. Daniel was happy and we were all a little drunk and the day was bright, never-ending, clear, pleasing us all though damn if I didn't wish...
Saraiva de Carvalho got his revenge last year when he helped oust Spínola from the presidency; at 38, he had become the youngest brigadier general in Portugal's history.

It's a dead town, a coal-mining town, and Crooks had nine sisters and brothers and a poor miner for a father. Crooks was the youngest son, and his mother decided he would never go into the mines like his brothers; so she hired a man named Mr. Henry who smelled like vanilla extract to give Crooks piano lessons, and she hoped...
...Wheeler, is president of Durham's prosperous Mechanics and Farmers Bank. Young Wheeler left North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University after a year, enrolled in flying school in Oklahoma, and got a commercial license at 19. At 22, he was hired by Piedmont as one of its youngest-and first black-pilots. A few years later, he took a leave of absence to start a charter flying service, partly with loans from the Small Business Administration. In August 1973 he drew up a schedule and put his single plane to a new use: Wheeler Airlines was born...
