Their anger has combined with an epidemic of drug use to turn Liberty City and Overtown, where many buildings are painted gaudy shades of yellow, orange and green, into brightly colored tinderboxes. The rage is compounded by deep- seated animosity toward the police, 43% of whom are Hispanic. Like last week's violence, all of Miami's previous riots ignited after white or Hispanic officers shot black suspects. Twice last year, Miami police on drug raids burst into the homes of innocent black people. Black citizens accuse Hispanic officers of waging a vendetta against black youths...
...deviations on the form that require an off-road map. The CD and cassette versions of What Up, Dog? contain a nifty number called Wedding Vows in Vegas in which Frank Sinatra Jr. provides some very atmospheric vocalizing.

Nothing less should be expected from a couple of guys whose first taped effort was a Frank Zappa tune and who put on a show in high school titled You Have Just Wasted Your Money...

Bush is only now fully aware of the difficulties facing his "flexible freeze," says Fuller, especially if interest rates do not drop by the 3 percentage points that Reagan's last budget wildly assumes they will...
...DEEP in the musty catacombs of the Skull and Bones mausoleum, beneath the deteriorated remains and cufflinks of William Buckley, a rat raced over a stack of crumbling copies of the Yale Daily News. The top copy, the 1989 Year in Review/Swimsuit issue, was knocked off and opened to the comics page. Scrawled into the margins with the blood of nubile young oarsmen was a list of the secret cabal's top news events of the year. The Crimson's crack squad of investigative reporters/archaeologists, fresh from a screening of "Rambo XXIII: Rambo Meets Indiana Jones" starring Mike Tyson...
