Survival consists of good, basic reggae. Marley's rhythm guitar playing is as good as ever. His female back-up group, the "I Threes," has improved and the percussion hammers with greater variety. Marley relies often on the harmonica, using it in original ways. Junior Marvin dazzles on lead guitar, interpreting fine intricate melodies though other instrumentation often buries his talent.

Alex Briley. Simpson came along in perfect 4/4 time: shooting has just begun on the People's first film...
Byrd has not made up his mind about the treaty, and the Carter White House badly needs him on its side if the pact is to stand any chance of passage. Thus the Administration accommodatingly lent Byrd Carter's own back-up jet, Air Force Two, a passel of State Department arms control experts as traveling companions and, as tour guide, Malcolm Toon, the testy U.S. Ambassador to Moscow. To shepherd Byrd around the Soviet Union, Toon will have to skip his embassy's July 4 celebration and his own birthday party (he will...
