...Rhythm Method does not cover the music of other artists, preferring to play original tunes and their own versions of other groups' songs, says lead singer John N. Axelrod '88. "We perform covers in the same way that Van Halen does Roy Orbison." As a result, The Rhythm Method generally does not play at Harvard functions...
Running neck and neck with Gephardt are Michael Dukakis and Paul Simon. Dukakis, in particular, remains formidable with his no-fuss, no-muss campaign style. "Dukakis gets the safe-driver award of this campaign," concedes David Axelrod, Simon's media adviser. "He never goes more than 40 miles an hour, but he never gets into any accidents."

The letter urges that all women in the early stages of pregnancy, or even considering pregnancy, be tested. Radio and television campaigns, brochures and posters are also in the works. "The studies are telling us the extent to which AIDS has spread within the community, particularly the intravenous drug-abusing community," Axelrod argues. "We have to look at every preventive action...
