Hopes for similar surges, along with jobs and rising income, drew throngs of townspeople and the high school band in Buffalo two weeks ago to groundbreaking ceremonies for Toyota's West Virginia engine plant. Local schoolchildren sang a haiku ("Cherry Blossoms born of spring, let's go see, let's go see") as dignitaries planted 10 Japanese maples to symbolize Toyota's new U.S. roots. For Senator Jay Rockefeller, landing Toyota marked the capstone of a 20-year crusade to boost the economy of one of the country's poorest states. Thanks to Toyota, Rockefeller says, Buffalo...
...Kate deLima began what must be, barring intervention by a philharmonic Ad Board, her last season of HRDC glory, at the Agassiz Theatre last weekend. (Needless to say, the HRDC standbys were there in force, hugging and kissing away; oh, where is our Hedda Hopper, our Liz Smith?)

By week's end 20 of them were dead, one was in custody and at least one, possibly seven, was still at large in the area's wild mountains. In separate clashes with North Koreans, three South Korean soldiers were killed...
...mother, and her adopted American bohemian culture, championed by bandmate-lover Elvis Chang. "My mother once confessed how much sex revolted her," Rocky says, shortly after sleeping with Elvis. "'Romance is what I crave,' she said. 'Sex is for men and animals'...I dreamed about sex, wrote about it, sang about it; I got down and dirty when I talked about it." When Rocky's mother starts up a family business making and delivering Filipino food, Rocky leaves home with Elvis to pursue a music career in Los Angeles and, later, New York City. Toward the end of the book...
