The company will cite upon request a study by the New York State Conservation Department, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries indicating that only 2.5 per cent of the striped bass in the Hudson would be killed by the plant's operation. It does not often cite more recent testimony showing an impact closer to 25 per cent, nor the rumor that the original report misplaced a decimal point...

Tenor Ivan Oak had inexcusable difficulty in following the conductor which, together with an inability to pronounce the German text, resulted in a disappointing performance.

To make up for this, the simplicity has got to go, replaced by five instruments doing interesting things all at once. Here it's an electric fiddle, pedal steel, lead guitar, bass, banjo, and drums, and they all lend a propensity for jazz-and-rock-like riffs. The Grateful Dead and the New Riders do this with country music, but their songs are different, trippy and abstract rather than sensual and evocative...
