...tell fans, "We suck. You can play better than us; anybody can play better than us. Start a band." After their legendary July 4th, 1976, Roundhouse concert in England, it seemed like every member ot the audience - which included the guys soon to form The Sex Pistols and The Clash - took them...
...hemisphere's diversity, which brings together at the summit leaders from some of the world's poorest and smallest nations, as well as some of the most populous and richest, including the global superpower, in a search for common political, social and economic ground. They represent a potential clash of every conceivable kind of interest (except one, since nondemocratic Cuba is excluded), made more acute by the economic uncertainty.

American media have given extensive coverage to the ugly realities of closures and occupation, checkpoints and restricted freedom. But it would be irresponsible to call attention to these facts in the international media without considering the context and the reason...
