...shoved into a corner as a well-burnished antique, a grandfather clock represents the dignified sobriety of the protest song. With the re-emergence of topical songwriter Tom Paxton, protest music avoids becoming totally anachronistic. On his latest album, New Songs From the Briarpatch, Paxton proves that the '70s cannot excape untouched by barbed balladry...
...whether Scarlett and Rhett ever got together again. What the world wants to know is whether Annie Hall and Alvy Singer will manage to get their inadequacies synchronized and live together anxiously ever after. The answer, neurosis fans, is yes!

Before, host countries could depend on these funding sources for the HIID programs, but today the institute's clients must fund the projects themselves, often with loans on favorable terms from the World Bank and other international lending institutions...
