      Along its 2,500-mile journey, U.S.1 passes through old, faded towns of New England, the great, decaying cities of the East, farms of the old South, down to America's new mecca--Florida. The story of this highway is metaphorically the history of America itself--past, present, and what so-called progress has done to the values that Americans once held so dear. 72 black-and-white photos.

      On a September day in 1983, debt-ridden Minnesota farmer Jim Jenkins gunned down the Buffalo Ridge Bank officials who had repossessed his farm, and three days later took his own life. Dan Rather of CBS News calls this "an important book", which "runs through your emotions like a combine". Serialized in the New York Times Magazine, this true crime story will be seen on CBS-TV as a mini-series this spring.
