From the Detroit Free Press: Leyland's decision easy as 1-2-3 ... 4

From the Detroit Free Press: Going nuts at a down-south pace

I took a car trip through the South last week. Driving along a two-lane Alabama road, my companion and I passed something called a Pecan Farm. We decided to stop in.


I have never been to a Pecan Farm, or, for that matter, any farm for nuts, although as kids we thought that was the "funny farm." Upon entering, my companion (who lives and works in New York) shot me a glance.

From the Detroit Free Press: Two guns, two dead; is anything solved?

In Kansas, two men were arguing over politics in a bar. One got so upset, he pulled a gun and killed the other. A couple of nights later, that gunman was shot dead by the victim's friends.

From the Detroit Free Press: More drama than necessary again

ALBOM: More drama than necessary again for Wolverines


More drama than necessary again
