...Southbound, the Crescent serves dinner both evenings of the trip (the first night, until 10:30 p.m.). "Dinner in the diner/ Nothing could be finer." Well, almost. Each table is dressed with linen cloth and napkins, heavy silverware and a vase of three fresh yellow chrysanthemums. The fare runs to excellent Southern fried chicken with cream gravy, roast beef and steak; there are hot breads and lemon pie. One couple does object testily when the steward is unable to produce a corkscrew for the bottle of Moulin-á-Vent '76 they had brought to table. It turns out that...
...Army salvage aircraft with "rotting longerons, rusting wires and fittings, badly torn fabric, etc." Once, he wrote, "my rusted rudderbar post broke while I was instructing a student during a low-altitude turn in an OX5 Standard." Another time, "my wooden propeller threw its sheet-metal tipping on a southbound mail flight from Chicago." Again, "my DH throttle mechanism broke and closed a hundred feet above ground over Illinois." The only lighting equipment his planes had in those days consisted of "a pocket flashlight (pilot furnished) and a compass light attached to a button on the end of the stick...
Last week Provos from the South Armagh Battalion hijacked and blew up a freight train from Dublin to Belfast just after it crossed the border into Ulster.

These extremist groups reject the willingness of some Provo leaders to discuss with...

Several hundred trucks were moving four abreast up the pass, blocking all southbound traffic. Dr. Richard Matern of the Save the Children Federation was trying to return to Hué to pick up his drug dispensary. "Traffic was backed up two miles, so I got on a Honda and went up to the top. There were no soldiers or police organizing things. A bunch of troops had left their trucks and were eating lunch. A couple of beautiful Vietnamese girls were singing...
...this album is piano man Chuck Leavell. Taken from the bank of Allman running buddy Alex Taylor, Leavell gives the band depth, and an added soloist. His playing, whether it's out front, or with the ensemble, is fluent and varied throughout. His chording underneath Gregg's vocal on "Southbound" focuses the rhythm section, and keeps time on the twelve bar bridge. His solo shows off his Otis Spann influences, rolling chords and full notes, all done in the middle ranges to avoid the piano's occasionally fragile sound...
