...provocative, which seems to be his pattern. To read it in this charged climate makes a man want to holler, "Slap leather, boys, and head for that line of trees!" Acknowledges Crichton: "It has been suggested that now is the time for that long-postponed trip to the Australian outback." Instead he is bracing for the criticism that trails his books like gulls after a trawler...
...murders in 1990 while there were just 22 in Britain and 10 in Australia, strict gun control in both countries would seem to be part of the reason. Britain forbids handguns to most people who are not members of gun clubs; members must store their weapons at the club. Australian handgun owners must undergo a background check before getting a license, which is granted mostly to business owners or gun clubs for target shooting. Gun deaths have gone down in Canada since tight controls were put in force...
...gives an entree as a gift?), there's 500 chocolate truffles (1 year, 4 months, 13 days' worth if consumed one per day) from Sweet Stuff, in the Shops by Harvard Yard, or 33 Platinum gift-wrapped balatons of Neuhaus Belgian chocolates from Cardullo's.

Look for it at In Your Ear, or send f2 to Nick Saloman, Woronzow Records, 75 Melville Rd., Walthamstow, London...
...grunge mix of guitars, and flat, heavy drums, often with layers of distortion hovering in the background for good measure. Perhaps recording in Memphis influenced the Whigs' guitar work, which tends towards lazy, slightly distorted lines. Much of the album sounds like a grunge version of the Australian band The Church, with clean, inventive basslines and clipped single- or double-note guitar riffs, leading into fuzz guitar noodles. Several tracks include piano comping figures, while on others guitars replace them with pianostyle riffs. Occasionally a cello surfaces in the mix. Solos come only from the guitars, sometimes with...
