Alice's reputation, plus the group's music-a tight hard-rock blend of unmerciful drumming, lush piano playing, deft guitar work and the leader's own Transylvanian vocal whine-have made $1,000,000 sellers of their last three Warner Bros. LPs-Love It to Death, Killer and School's Out (a free pair of bikini panties is included with that album...
...voodoo rock, whose music is often eerily grisly and whose personal appearances are usually heralded by the lighting of torches and a processional of undulating dancers. His gaudy, African-style headdresses are woven out of ostrich feathers, vines, ivy and snakeskins.

"Our policy toward Eastern Europe serves our own national interests as well as the overall efforts of the Western alliance. How could voters possibly trust them [the C.D.U.-C.S.U.] to carry on this foreign policy, trust those who rejected almost everything that Washington, London, Paris...
Eleanor's special blend of hard-nosed politicking and motherly instincts can produce startling changes in mood and tone. In New Haven, she was haranguing a luncheon gathering on the implications of the Watergate bugging and burglary. "If we as a nation accept bugging a private office," she said, "we are conditioning ourselves to accept the same kind of intrusion on the precious right of privacy. Next it could be a law office, a business office or a home..." At that moment, she happened to look down at the dishes in front of her and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness...
