Divine Hair-Mass in F, by Gait MacDermot (RCA, $5.98). Lackluster settings of the Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei, Kyrie, Gloria, even the Lord's Prayer, combed into hits from MacDermot's Hair, just as they were in the original presentation last year at Manhattan's Cathedral of St. John the Divine...
...mosquito-borne virus that originated in South America, swept up into Texas, and parts of Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, killing at least 1,500 horses, burros and mules and afflicting hundreds of humans with severe, flu-like symptoms.

Each work consists of two to five sections that had been cut out paper-doll fashion, and notched...
Some proof was needed, since Tsirinana (pronounced Tsi-ran) is not in the best of health. A peasant boy who herded zebus until the French sent him off to a Jesuit school, he is now nearing 60. His gait is slow and his words sound mechanical. Moreover, the island's recent municipal elections-the first nationwide balloting in five years -indicate that discontent is on the rise...
