Cold-shouldered by the Cleveland Democratic organization and almost beaten in a recall election last year, Kucinich fo cused his campaign for re-election on Cleveland's blacks; he persuaded Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes and former Mayor Carl Stokes to endorse him on TV. The strategy did not work: Kucinich lost to Republican George Voinovich, Ohio's Lieutenant Governor, who played down his party affiliation...

The sound is unmistakeable and very pleasing, and so far Reed has been able to write songs that take full advantage fo it. On "I Want to Boogie With You," Don Cherry's trumpet and Marty Fogel's sax thicken the soup of a repeated chord sequence in the bass and guitar; indeed, throughout The Bells these traditional jazz instruments are worked into Reed's rock songwriting better than most so-called fusion...
