...REALLY QUITE IRONIC that some of the hardest, most uncompromising music in the current rock scene should also be one of the most conservative. Like its fellow hardcore bands--Black Flag and Minor Threat--Husker Du, on its new EP, Metal Circus, adopts a stance which firmly opposes the revolutionary ideals of the punk movement. This stance--which is basically, think for yourself, without paying attention to all the unrealistic talk of violent and anarchic revolutions--might seem a strange message from a band whose music appears so angry and nihilistic. The band's commitment and sincerity, however...
...Stephens' detail is more to the point, though. His compilation is essentially a fuckup-by-fuckup account of what went wrong, and each goof is more chilling than the next. Consider the moments after a valve first failed and the "incident" began--operators feverishly leaf through Emergency Procedure (EP) notebooks, searching for a way to bring the reactor back to stability. The operators don't need a college degree, nor any training in engineering. They need to pass 14 hours of exams designed to test their knowledge of the EPs. Needless to say, no one had thought to design...

...time Rubens had finished amplifying the battle-piece theme in later paintings, the source of hundreds of battle pictures and painted disaster ep ics in the 18th and 19th centuries had been laid, even down to the kind of horses. Rubens' standard horse, a prancing, thick-barrelled animal with nervous fet locks, cascading tail, wild, rolling eyes and distended nostrils, was repeated by Géricault and Delacroix until it became the very symbol of the romantics' sense of organic energy. In portraiture, Rubens' sense of the grand manner and his way of putting figures convincingly within...
