...songs meander with the plot, although in live performances the cast is able to make most of them work by means of raw energy, youthful good looks and old-fashioned showmanship. There are plenty that hold up well on record, however, such as One Song Glory, a brave, bold blast that compares with some of the best tunes on Jesus Christ Superstar, the pioneering 1971 rock opera. However, neither Rent nor Noise/Funk is as bold musically as JCS was in its day. Noise/Funk sounds a little stuffy compared with current hip-hop releases like A Tribe Called Quest's Beats...
...exploded with more power than a million hydrogen bombs, gouging a deep crater in the planet's crust and lofting huge quantities of rock and soil into the thin Martian atmosphere. While most of the debris fell back to the surface, some of the rocks, fired upward by the blast at high velocities, escaped the weak tug of Martian gravity and entered into orbits of their own around...
JERUSALEM: Shimon Peres on Tuesday broke his silence to blast the proposals of his successor, Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu. At a special session of parliament on Tuesday, Peres dismissed Netanyahu's offer to withdraw Israeli troops from Syria-controlled Lebanon in exchange for a secure border as "laughable."

...conjecture being explored by some government counterterrorism specialists is that the blast was caused by a "fuel-air explosion," probably indicating that a low-grade explosive device was involved. This theory, so far a minority view, holds that an explosion would cause fuel to leak into the air and then be ignited by the slow-burning detonating material, creating what amounts to a giant gas bomb; a higher-velocity explosive like Semtex would cause severe structural damage to the plane, but the intense blast might be too short to ignite fuel vapors...
...first eye is the amateur's video camera. it has the milling people in shorts and T shirts, the hot Atlanta night, then--blast and blast wave (no video hallucination, you can feel it), heads in unison dip-duck-flinching, abruptly frozen time (an instant that seems terribly long), until at last the crowd's comprehension comes to a scurrying critical mass, and then--the surge just short of panic (young mother and father each crouching-hurrying to push a child's stroller away from the violent whatever-it-was); and, crisscrossing the screen, center to right, a young...
