...course, no matter what the Beatles sang about, they always sang like they meant it--a statement that the Apples In Stereo can't claim. Clever lyrics are hurt as often as helped from Schneider's laid back attitude. Imagine Lennon and McCartney singing while strung out on acid and mescaline, and you get the idea. Too often, instead of sounding cool, Schneider simply sounds anemic, like his heart beats at about the half the rate of a normal person. When he and his fellow co-vocalists really lay into a song, like the catchy "We'll Come...
...scientists always agree. "Folic acid is a perfect example," says Rima Apple, a historian at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and author of Vitamania: Vitamins in American Culture.

At the same time, however, new studies were showing that higher doses of folic acid could prevent crippling birth defects during pregnancy and ward off strokes and heart attacks in older...

A trip to the nearby record store will reveal that there are nearly more electronica subgenres than artists: ambient, illbient, jungle, acid house, drum 'n bass, acid jazz, trip hop and so on ad nauseam...
...seekers. Helen Tworkov, editor of the influential Buddhist quarterly Tricycle, says a generation explored Buddhism "out of an enormous sense of shame" over the Vietnam War and its images of monks setting themselves afire in protest. Others were in search of enlightenment that lasted longer than a tab of acid. Their quests seemed to end in Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a brilliant apostle of Vajrayana and part of the Tibetan diaspora. Trungpa's Naropa Institute in Denver, an eclectic colloquium of Eastern spiritual and Western intellectual cultures, constituted one of the great spiritual bazaars of the 1970s. One of its most...
