Night Ride Home follows Mitchell's 1988 Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm and comes on the heels, or paws, of her 1985 Dog Eat Dog, an intensely inward effort full of dank social speculation whose lack of wide acceptance is still a bit irksome to the singer-composer. "It was mistimed," she speculates. "It was viewed as negative and preacherly at the time of its release. It was an angry album." Mitchell seems heartened by the warm, early interest accorded the new record, and a little suspicious, as if she has produced something so attractive that it must...
...vigil, sponsored by the Harvard Committee on Central America (COCA), was staged against a back-drop of eight white crosses, each representing one of the massacre victims. Earlier, COCA planted the crosses in the grass near Widener and wrote in chalk "74,000 dead in El Salvador" on the pavement in front of the steps...

An ENOUGH pin can be purchased for the low price of $10. After all, I never have ENOUGH money. And make the world a more colorful, geometric place. Leslie Hakala...
...mainland. On Oct. 30 a team of workers at the face of the French section of the service tunnel that is being bored 131 ft. below the bed of the Channel waited for a thin steel probe, drilled from the British side, to pierce the wall of chalk marl in front of them.

...tunnelers were within striking distance of completing the first tunnel under the English Channel. Measurements taken through the probe hole showed the two approaches were out of line by a horizontal distance of only 20 in. after huge boring machines had chewed their way through 24 miles of undersea chalk. Said a spokesman for TransManche Link, the Anglo-French consortium responsible for design and construction: "It was like throwing out a line to the moon and getting within a 10-ft. circle." The remaining 325 or so feet of chalk separating the two tunnels will now be excavated...
