Their live performance was ol studio quality if not better, and not once did their musical ability diminish. But I was there to see Metallica, and a deafening response is what 1 received. Loud doesn't even describe the volume. You could barely make out the Greek Parthenon in ruins on the dimly lit stage. As the concert progressed you could see a large monolith being assembled. The monolith of Blind Lady Justice, the symbol of their latest :aks of 'Nc class: Pat Conroy. Fox extended a special invitation to Sayers, and with the help of her publisher, Doubleday, she was able to arrange the visit. Sayers read the first chapter of her novel Due East and the first chapter of its sequel, How I Got Him Back. Both novels are set in the fictional small town of Due East, S.C., which is strikingly similar to Beaufort, S.C., Sayers' hometown. Sayers also delighted her audience by reading some as-yet unpublished material from her new work in progress, a novel tentatively titled ? to the great annoyance of the English department and grammarians everywhere ? Who Do You Love.
