Sid Salter's piece is pretty interesting. http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080220/COL0412/802200329/1144 And so is the other editorial. http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080220/OPINION01/802200325/1007 The old google turned up a lot of news stories about Scruggs stuff today, including a couple of opinion pieces in the Clarion-Ledger, an article by Jerry Mitchell, one by Anita Lee, etc. etc. None as informative as what NMC has already provided.

I'm not familiar with any Iupe drycleaners, but they had a clothing store in Canton for many years, and I've noticed a new Iupe establishment open on Highway 51 in Madison. I didn't think the Iupes I know would have any connection to Scruggs. Ieyoub makes a heck of a lot more sense. Yes, it was Iupe.
