Denounced as "counterrevolutionary and pessimistic," he was eventually jailed, tortured and held for a month in 1971, an event that inspired a worldwide protest: furious, his old friend Castro visited Padilla's cell to rail against him. "Abroad they are speaking against the Cuban revolution," he yelled, "and you are responsible for that." After his release, Padilla was officially a nonperson for the next decade and eked out a bare living as a translator. Only after Senator Edward Kennedy made a personal appeal to Castro was Padilla allowed to emigrate...
Berri had clearly underestimated the Palestinians' determination to resist the onslaught. From hilltops east of Beirut, Palestinian gunners belonging to anti-Arafat P.L.O. groups fired artillery and rocket volleys into Amal positions.

The writing in the album is near peak. Tight Connection to My Heart is a playful bit of lovelorn apocrypha, a mood, once established, that turns sinister toward the end of the record, with the ominous Something's Burning, Baby. The last song, Dark Eyes, is like...
...Sellars' furious improvisations are sometimes arbitrary and pretentious, and more than a little of the text sinks in the mire of expressionistic excess. But his reworking is so full of passion, inventiveness and sheer theatrical verve that one cannot help cheering. Dumas's tale of Edmond Dantes, a young - seaman in Napoleonic- era France who is unjustly imprisoned for 18 years and then escapes to seek revenge on those who wronged him, could have been a routine exercise in nostalgia or camp. But Sellars obviously sees grandeur in the play and is determined to make the audience...
