...review outline in each of the eight subjects for nationwide distribution. Just like a Barron's College Outline, only you read it vertically. No one can say just how far the Americanization of Chinese education will go. Maybe they'll institute MCAT's to screen out incompetent barefoot doctors. One thing will never be the same though--they can never lure Mr. Test over to Peking to proctor the exams. Not for all the tea in China...
...Shanti Spaeth and her husband Karl regard street music as theater. They unashamedly cater to the tourists around Jackson Square, in New Orleans' French Quarter, by wearing ragtag getups and going barefoot. Karl, besides playing guitar, mandolin and trombone, laces their performances with his own political jokes and humorous songs (Ain 't No Sin to Take off Your Skin and Dance Around in Your Bones). But all is seriousness when Shanti belts out blues or scats like Ella Fitzgerald on Satin Doll. The couple were married nine days after meeting at a crafts fair in Oregon a year...
...Husband Sergei Kauzov, 40, celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a few close Greek friends on Christina's island, Skorpios. The party was deliberately simple: an anniversary cake helicoptered in from the mainland, along with champagne, caviar, smoked salmon and lobster. Then the couple led off some barefoot dancing, choosing a tango as their starter. There were no signs of discord in the union. Sergei, who has been allowed out of Moscow on an extended visa rarely granted by Soviet authorities, is taking a stronger role in managing one of the capitalist world's largest fleets. And Christina...

Nobody bothered to carry me back to our house. I had to walk back barefoot in the mud, get a pan and wash the sticky red stuff off my feet. It was hard to wake me up for school the next morning...
THERE'S STILL some good music on Wave-"Frederick," an ode to Rimbaud set to a tune suspiciously like Smith's only hit, "Because The Night;" "Dancing Barefoot," in which she sings with more precision than she has yet managed; and "Broken Flag," a sweeping anthem to her curious idea of America. But even these tracks partake of the torpor that fills the rest of the record. During her last tour, Smith padded sheepishly around the stage and did her best to play cute. The music on Wave acts identically, and neither escapes with a shred of credibility...
