...four songs are "Dairy Queen," a hard-driving, solid rock tune, "Death Dirge," a haunting song with vocals that resemble the power found in the voice of Jim Morrison, "Sleeping Sara," a multi-paced melody with a 1960s sound, and a well-harmonized cover version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" that also has a 1960s flavor...
THIS musical is much funnier than the diluted 1986 film based on it and about as funny as the B-grade 1960 horror flick it's based on. Little Shop of Horrors is as much a satire on the early 1960s as a gruesome tale of a carnivorous plant...
...fragile Baltic environment. Economists estimate that nearly all the pollution that fouls Estonian rivers, lakes and the Baltic Sea is emitted by industries controlled by eight Moscow ministries. An even touchier question is Moscow's role in skewing the republic's demography.

Such images not only are unfair but also reflect some...
...scientist at the National Computer Security Center in Maryland. The center, a division of the National Security Agency, works to protect Government computers from outside attack. The elder Morris, who was one of the first researchers to experiment with viruses at AT&T's Bell Laboratories in the early 1960s, when they were still considered a game, is a top expert on combating the kind of sabotage in which his son allegedly engaged. The father would not discuss the case in detail, but admitted that his son was "very well trained in computer science" and said the episode sounded like...
