...Sonic Youth, ''takes itself very seriously. It's very similar to the '60s.'' Plus the jeans, the extremely long hair . . . ''I look at Nirvana and Soul Asylum,'' says Jann Wenner, the 47-year-old founder of Rolling Stone, ''and I practically get acid flashbacks.'' In other words: been there, done that. For any smug baby boomer, it is pleasant to see the young so precisely following in one's footsteps. A century ago, there was Dostoyevsky on the one hand and Dickens on the other. You could be a doomed bohemian man of principle, or you could be popular...
...budget -- if the border remains sealed. The crackdown has drawn overwhelming support from El Paso, which is itself 72% Hispanic. ''The rampant criminal problems in our downtown are gone,'' boasted Mayor Larry Francis. ''The majority of El Pasoans are stating that this should have been done long ago.''

According to one American official, the U.S. might provide financial assistance more readily if Mexico provides increased assistance in the war against drugs.

...start of the Fundamentalist surge. ''The word of God,'' says Rogers, ''is not up for a vote.'' He insists, for example, that Adam and Eve were directly created by God, and he rejects evolution, or, as he calls it, ''monkey-monology.'' Because the annual meeting's business is done in town-meeting style, the strategy for winning S.B.C. presidential elections is getting the right voters to travel to the meeting site. The Georgia gathering figured to be the anti- Fundamentalists' last and best hope, since moderate Southern Baptists are concentrated in the coastal region between Washington and Atlanta. But Rogers...
