...society. Collectively, they lack the glamour of their famous predecessors, and their personal motives are different: the expatriates of the 1920s left America looking for art and excitement, while the new expatriates are avoiding the pressures and problems of American life today (see ESSAY, next page). In an unconscious echo of James, one of them-Reginald Rose, a television playwright now living in London-calls the U.S. "uncomfortable, unloving and unreal...
...counter culture is anathema in Vegas.

Vegas was to have a rock festival last July, a bone-dry echo of Woodstock was all set to grit its teeth against the drifting sands while digging into an abandoned airfield on the edge of town.

However, the towering stone nave serves as a vast echo chamber to bounce and distort every sound the singers and instruments make. This concert was the first step in an attempt to break away from Sanders and experiment with other halls. With any luck, the other halls will be better than this...
