...most prominent and articulate forum for rock culture, divests itself of much of its music coverage and aims for a more general readership. Record companies have cut back on corporate extravagances and are making a little money, mostly by kicking up prices. Punk is dead, New Wave is over, disco moved out when your older sister left home. The Clash can't swing a major hit single, so its albums don't get high on the charts; and does anyone know there's a great new record by a great new group called the Blasters? Is anyone...
...when they decided to play bingo. Di proved lucky, walking off with a set of plastic spoons and forks, just the thing for the next royal picnic. Charles won nothing.

Told that tickets for a local disco night of reggae and soul music were going for $3.78, she mentioned that the price was steep.

The bouncy rhythms of Dorinda's first-act aria on the ineffable nature of love--she's the beach bunny, nee shepherdess--become the excuse for an hilarious mock-disco strut. Later in the opera, when Dorinda sings of love's bitterness, it is Sellars's inspiration that she pour herself a stiff drink between repetitions (all Orlando's arias consist of six or eight lines repeated again and again), with the result that her octave leaps slowly become sozzled hiccups...
...Isle on September 1, 1982 to play some of the country's club and university teams. "The trip is going to happen--I can't believe it," she enthused. The squad expects to raise the additional $5000 necessary for the trip through hat sales, a dance at the Metro disco in the spring, and a Friends fundraising letter...Juniors KATE MARTIN and MAUREEN FINN were selected as the hockey team's co-captains for the 1982-'83 season at their recent banquet. Finn served as a co-captain this season, and Martin is currently acting as a co-captain...
