...light district behind a banner that read: WOMEN UNITE, TAKE BACK THE NIGHT. In Cambridge, Mass., a porn fighter fired a rifle shot in the middle of the night into a Harvard Square bookshop that she said carried pornographic literature. With obvious hyperbole, Cleveland Antiporn Campaigner Sandra Coster says of the crusade: "It's the one thing women can unite on [because] we all get raped and we all get beaten...
...original six-man ensemble that brought us early standards like "Evil Ways" and "Black Magic Woman." The changes have not made a big difference in the group's sound from a strictly technical standpoint, with one notable exception. Some of the keyboard and synthesizer work performed by Tom Coster on Festival completely eclipses any of the solos rapped out by his predecessor on the ivories, Gregg Rolie. The ornate pattern of notes that flow from Coster's moog on "Reach Up" enable him to separate his personal style from Carlos' domineering presence, a real rarity in this band's history...

To see such works resurrected in this...
...businesses serving the timber industry could lose another $106 million per year. Beyond that, Maine's $450 million-a-year tourist industry will suffer; no campers or hunters will want to go into a gloomy wasteland of dead trees. In the competition with the budworm, concludes Lester De-Coster, New England regional manager of the American Forest Institute, "man cannot afford to lose...
