...warned that "unbridled partisanship implants within our free system the seeds of its destruction." A collision is coming, he said. "Americans are demanding performance, not partisanship, not provocations, not promises." The Democrats in their midterm convention in Philadelphia last summer seemed like a collection of caucuses (gays, women, blacks, et cetera) fiercely loyal only to themselves. If there was a transcending theme, nobody caught it amid all the self-centered statements and accusations...
...Talking Heads are almost admitting that Remain in Light seminal though it was--was inaccessible to a lot of people, the way good pop or rock almost never should be. Without doubting their artistic integrity in any way, it's not hard to imagine that the latest from Byrne et. al., more than any Heads album, will have a chance to reach through to the mass audience that has thus far eluded this estimable group...
...government is concerned, those things which Meselson et. al. can't explain loom larger than the bee theory itself. Their scientists have acknowledged that bees may be involved with the story--perhaps pollen is being used as a carrier for toxins, one has speculated to Science.

The paper's Food section explored the wonders of "oatmeal meat" (fried oatmeal patties), something Reagan brought...
...bubbling, but the Expos, division champs in 1981 and on the verge of a pennant for years, are less taken with the standings. "We haven't sparkled," says Oliver, the defending batting champion. "We've been lucky that the rest of the division [Philadelphia, St. Louis, et al.) has been pretty lousy too." Emotionally, neither team reflects its customers. As Stieb says, "Montreal has a lot of French Canadians, hot-blooded and spirited types. Toronto fans are English Americans, a bit more staid." However, he has noticed increased fan enthusiasm in Toronto since the team began winning...
