...Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon, built from the timber of an old whaling ship in 1880. Jack London used to drink there...
Roosevelt and Churchill were born eight years apart (Churchill being the elder). As Meacham writes, "They loved tobacco, strong drink, history, the sea, battleships, hymns, pageantry, patriotic poetry, high office, and hearing themselves talk.

Currently, only about half the folks who should be screened actually undergo...

And in Fatboys, a popular café, men in suits and dark glasses talk about the region's geopolitical significance...
