...couple tried for a new start in Hot Springs. Roger Clinton, who had been selling Buicks in a town with little demand for new or expensive cars, joined his brother in a more prosperous dealership in the state's most affluent resort town.

Much has been made of Clinton's encounters with snakes in the outhouse, but he says, "We were not poor. A lot of rural Arkansas had no sewers back then." Billy...

Engineer Mack Shelor, an executive with CSX's energy resources and logistics division, learned through some contacts that Otisca was the only firm capable of producing a coal-based liquid fuel that would meet the specifications...
...yellow roses, and the first wave of tourists has come to stroll among the palmettos, ! cypresses and golden rain trees lining the town's crooked streets. Though it was not far from Yalta that Mikhail Gorbachev spent three days under house arrest last August during the coup attempt, the resort is best remembered as the site where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin convened to redraw the map of Europe. That was 47 years ago, when the Crimea fell unquestionably within the Kremlin's empire and only dreamers wasted time imagining a world without the Soviet Union...
