COVER STORY
What They Saw
The war effort in Iraq takes a toll on the emotions of its participants. Joe Tarr talks with two returning soldiers from the combat zone and gets personal reflections on their experiences.
FEATURE
Parlez-Vous Knoxvillaise?
If there’s a Knoxville accent, who knows what it’s like, exactly. Native Knoxvillian Jack Neely pursues the concept and comes up nearly empty. We talk lots of funny different ways, he finds.
Citybeat
This week:
The city went blue and the county red in last week’s elections, and Jack Neely makes some sense of those patterns in the state and national picture; and Knox County’s freshman Republican legislators are polled for their expectations by Barry Henderson.
Plus: Seven Days and Street Talk.
