MIAMI: No Ordinary Putt-Putt

That's not just any stand of scrub palmettos. It's the clubhouse of the Rio Grande / General Douglas McArthur six-hole golf course. And it's no country club.

LOS ANGELES:
Don't Quit Your Day Job

Everyone in Hollywood wants to be a star. Competition is stiff and you look for your big break wherever you can get it. Take a gander at the dirty side of Tinseltown.

NEW YORK: Chick Tac Toe

Who doesn't love a video arcade? The sounds of quarters dropping into slots, the tinkly electronic music, the clucking, the angry shouts of patrons losing game after game of tic-tac-toe to an unscrupulous chicken. That's right, a chicken.

You've never heard of Charlotte Hunt. If not for her, you may never have heard of Zora Neale Hurston or Alice Walker either. How a high school English teacher changed the future of African-American literature in the United States.
By P.V. LeForge

OVER THE AIRWAVES: Lost in Space

The wonderfully weird, oddly addictive songs of Space. They might surprise you.
