| Eager to join his new team, Earnhardt arrives early
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. NASCAR's prince descended through blue skies, his plane landing beside Daytona International Speedway where he surveyed the kingdom. Dale Earnhardt Jr. wore a white T-shirt, jeans and a Hendrick Motorsports cap instead of a robe. He arrived a week ahead of his scheduled test date and on the same day a federal judge dismissed Kentucky Speedway's lawsuit against NASCAR. It's difficult to know which event meant more - Earnhardt slumming with his new teammates on Daytona's first day of testing or a judge approving how NASCAR doles out Sprint Cup races to tracks. Competitors will point to Earnhardt's appearance because, when it comes to race venues, they'll race wherever the schedule sends them. Few drivers want to test, though.

Destination: books
But here are nine noteworthy bookstores around the country that are definitely worth a visit. Some bookstores are crammed with serpentine rows of dusty shelves aching with books -- but that's not what you'll find at Books & Books, which has three locations in addition to its Coral Gables flagship. "Our Coral Gables store is built around a courtyard in a Mediterranean-style building, and our South Beach store is in a gorgeous Art Deco building," said owner Mitchell Kaplan. The store also has branches in an upscale mall in Bal Harbour and on Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean. Books & Books hosts 70 author events a month, and the stores' specialties include art, architecture and regional literature, including books about Cuba and Latin America. The Coral Gables and Miami Beach stores also have full-service restaurants.

I expect the quarrel of the generations will still be going strong when you become one of those nasty seniors--or perhaps, with your humanitarian attitude, you will be the glowing exception. .
