Here are three New Yearâs resolutions for Tennessee in 2018. Keep supplying hope. Pruitt has done a good job making Tennessee fans believe in him. The coaching search turned into a bit of a national joke, but the Vols might have found a rising coaching star.
Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to a construction worker and a homemaker, John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Realizing he didn't have the right stuff for a pro career, he shifted gears and majored in accounting at Mississippi State University.
His plots are no better or worse than average, and his characters are at their service. His novels exist to be filmed. His next, for example, has been sold to the movies before being written. The Pelican Brief is the Christmas Grisham, halfway round the year from  The Firm , which was the Fourth of July Grisham. It is about as good, but in a different way. While The Firm was a muscular thriller with action sequences, The Pelican Brief takes place more quietly, in corners, shadows and secret hotel rooms. True, it has a few bomb explosions and chases, but by Grisham standards it's claustrophobic.
