Good Times and Growing Pains
by Carroll Dale Short, Robert Hamburger, Lawrence Goodwyn, Steve Hofflus, Louie Crew, Malcolm Jones, David Bowman, Wendy Watriss, Jack Boozer, Steven Ward, Stephen March, Garland Strother, Manning Marable
This issue, which marks the beginning of our fifth year, combines a number of articles about the good times and growing pains of a South reaching national maturity. It seems appropriate for us to answer, at this time, some of our readers' questions about who we re and what Southern Exposure represents. Early observers thought we'd never make it this far with a regional journal so critical of the powers that be and so preoccupied with the lesser known people, with the struggles and heritage of a culture considered bankrupt by sophisticated America. But, like the South, we have attained a new stability, partly from the spin-off of the media search for Jimmy Carter's South (they have yet to find it) and partly from our appeal to the same hunger for connections to a past, a place, a people, that made Roots a meaningful event for so many.

Everything you ever wanted to know about growing grapes The growing of grapes has a long and rich history. Whether grown to produce wine, table grapes, or raisins, this tiny fruit has been a staple since nearly the dawn of civilization. This comprehensive guide includes everything you need to grow grapes, from a history and classification of grapes to cement your knowledge to specific items of interest like vine improvement, site selection, mineral nutrition, watering, vine management, and hazards to avoid.
Results are reported from an investigation of the hydraulics of flow in experimental apparatus simulating nominally horizontal simple and branching drains of plumbing systems. The data are correlated with limited findings in an earlier, unpublished NBS study the results of which have been utilized in current plumbing codes. The need for further research is pointed out, particularly in relation to hydraulic performance of drain systems as affected by steep slopes, drain storage volume, energy losses at stack bases, attenuation of water depths and discharge rates in long drains, and large drain diameters.
