The eagerly awaited fall sports issue emerges more or less intact, with Brooks Clark's inimitable annual SEC football scouting report and predictions, the "Chix Pix" of Adrienne Martini and Joey Cody on UT's gridiron season, Mike Gibson's take on former Vol Tim Erwin and other assorted and sordid musicians of the Chillbillies band, plus Gibson's special report on the victories and vicissitudes of the National Women's Football Association and its contingent of Tennesseans.

Jack Neely has lunch with Larry Frank, Knox County's new library director, and concludes that he'll be a curiosity, if a pleasant one, in this community.

Joe Sullivan assesses some of the positive aspects of the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus in the roiling wake of UT's presidential scandal in Insights, the inestimable Adrienne Martini bids a fond farewell (sniff) to Knoxville by co-opting Editor's Corner, and Jack Neely lays out the rudiments of a summer murder mystery in Secret History.

Heather Joyner says it's more than just cool; it's a sign of things to come, in Artbeat.
