She and her mother and occasionally her father would take the train every summer to Saluda, N.C., riding up the green ridges from Montgomery, Ala., to a dowdy, cool, porched North Carolina mountain village. There the fried chicken and iced tea and grits and bacon were unrivaled and cheap, and the "pitchershow" was the only entertainment.Back home in Alabama she would hang off the porches and watch the handsome, uniformed boys of World War I, who would drop by in convertibles and jitneys, carrying flasks of gin and rumble-seat ideas.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, for GameCube First things first: You've got to have a Game Boy Advance to play this one. OK, you don't absolutely have to, but if you don't, you're going to miss out on a lot. It'll be worth your while - and your $99. We promise. Since the dawn of time (or at least since the modern age of video gaming began), Nintendo's Zelda series has been our favorite. We're not alone; the 12 games in the series have sold more than 42 million copies. Over the years, we've watched as it progressed from the days when a clunky little Link dispatched bad guys from a top-down perspective to the most recent marvels for the GameCube.

Friends may call on Wednesday from 3-5 and 7-9 p.m. at the family owned BRADLEY ASHTON FUNERAL HOME, P.A., 2134 Willow Spring Road at the corner of Dundalk Avenue where services will be held at 7 p.m. Interment on Thursday at 10:45 a.m. in Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery.

Zelda: Twilight Princess Nintendo [GameCube] Rated T Well, GameCube owners, we hope you had fun. We hope you enjoyed your system and feel like you got the most out of it. We certainly did. But the party is pretty much over now, save for one more big blowout. In the weeks since its release, the Nintendo Wii has roared into the marketplace like a space shuttle leaving the launch pad. Nintendo said that through the end of November, 600,000 gamers had ponied up for the new system. Sales reports from industry research group NPD put the figure a little lower: 476,000 units.

LOS ANGELES -- Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald's magnificent heart gave out here 66 years ago today in the Hayworth Avenue apartment of his mistress. The author of The Great Gatsby, out of print and out of sync with a world that had turned on him and away from him, was 44 years old. Who got the call to come and take care of every little thing attendant to the death of a great man? Not the mistress, Sheilah Graham. Not the wife, Zelda, institutionalized with schizophrenia in North Carolina.
