Points of View: Arkansas Style

Arkansas "Moon" brings on a peculiar kind of mean insanity, fearsome in its throes even to our horny-toed hillsmen. Four of our first seven A.A.s had to be lassoed and hauled out of caves where they had been living with panthers and bears. Two of the other three were easily taken: our local founder dug them up out of the sod--incorrectly diagnosed. The founder himself was a screwball trumpet player from one of the state's oldest, most revered families--fundamentally incapable.
