The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has published the first of two excerpts from the book “Mississippi Politics: The Struggle for Power, 1976-2006″ by Jere Nash and Andy Taggart. This installment is an interesting history of the state’s landmark 1987 multi-million-dollar highway building project.
From The Clarion-Ledger: For nearly half his life, Larry Stewart kept a secret identity, like a superhero without the super powers. Every year around Christmastime, the Mississippi native dressed up in special clothes and did good deeds. And then this year, Stewart removed his mask. He left his secret identity behind and began granting interviews.
And The Star-Herald has determined Stewart passed through Kosciusko on a Christmas swing south last year.
The Associated Press reportered Stewart’s death in January.
