...grown from a shaky start with Cold Spring Harbor, his virtually unknown debut album, to the 1976 blockbuster, Turnstiles. Each album gave the music world fresh looks at life, love and people, all set to Joel's masterful keyboard compositions. Whether he was ridiculing the radical in "Angry Young Man," probing sentimentality in "You're My Home," or reminiscing about foolish teenage love in "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," Joel maintained a lyrical poignancy that hit home with both his listeners and his critics...
BACK in the mid-sixties pop art made its debut on the American scene; all the most ludicrous examples of mass urban culture shined as serious artworks. Andy Warhol got rich off his Campbell soup cans, George Segal for his over-all plaster casts of live human beings, Roy Lichtenstein for his comic strip tableaux...

Bellotti needs to win again to remain a viable force in state politics and to keep alive prospects for a shot for the governorship in the next election. William F.

His self-image is a familiar and obnoxious one: cocky, fool-hardy American punk bopping around the Mideast with his girl and his stash. Played by Brad Davis in his flashy feature film debut, Billy comes off as a hopeless amateur in the contraband business, the kind of sunglassed shmuck who chews gum and smokes a Winston at the same time while a suspicious customs agent checks his bags. Naturally, Billy does not read the papers; otherwise he would have known about the tight security checks at Istanbul...
