Features
The Ballad of Billy the Kid » Billy Joel is one of the most prolific pop musicians in history -- and still one of the most popular, thanks in part to his tireless touring. Yet audiences haven’t seen a new album from him in years. Will he ever write again?
Fair-Weather Friend » One bad storm turned Herb Hilgenberg into a one-man international forecasting service and a guardian angel for sailors.
Yo-Yo Nation » The second annual International Yo-Yo Open & New York State Yo-Yo Contest describes itself as the world’s largest yo-yo event; over the next two days, organizers expect a crowd of more than 20,000.

Six Cities, 60 Minutes » Quit telling people that you’ve been to Indianapolis, if the airport counts. It doesn’t. For those with time to kill, we’ve got more than 50 things for you to do in half a dozen U.S. cities, and all are within an hour from the local airport.
Departments
Roswell, New Mexico: The Truth Is Still Out There. » Until the 1990s, the only tourists who stopped in Roswell, New Mexico, were either lost or asking for directions to Carlsbad. That’s no longer the case. Today, everyone knows Roswell as the Alien Capital of the World. Each July, this town of 50,000 celebrates its annual UFO Festival, to which thousands make the pilgrimage to hear notable ufologists argue about aliens and government subterfuge alongside a circus atmosphere of parades, concerts, and pet dogs dressed as E.T.
The New-and-Improved Old Glory » What has it taken to bring back the majesty of the Star- Spangled Banner? Eight years, 19 conservators, and a whole lot of patience. But the result is a powerful reminder of our nation’s fight for independence.

Cha-Bella
The Italian eatery is famous for its signature veggie salad that bursts with the flavor of just-picked produce from the restaurant’s own two-acre organic farm. Chef Matthew J. Roher offers tours and wine tastings on the farm. “Seasonal fruits, veggies, and herbs are all for sale, and visitors can stay for an alfresco lunch,” says Roher. 102 East Broad Street, (912) 790-7888, www.cha-bella.com
