...Usually building around a simple recognizable theme, Ayler relies on a rawness of emotion unfiltered through traditional structure that seems at first grating, but upon extended listening reveals a unique expressiveness.

Phnom-Penh has become a ghost city, forcibly and quickly emptied of most of its 2 million inhabitants. Perhaps as many as half of Cambodia's 7.6 million people have become victims of a massive dislocation, a forced march of city dwellers who have been ordered by the Khmer Rouge government to take to the roads and paths and become rice growers in the countryside.

Hospitals were crowded to two and three times their capacity.

...Lions (the circus, presumably), basketball players, ice skates (Orr's?). Idle speculation as to the subjects of the photographs when the Red Line is extended and Harvard Square has its own new station. A college of caps and gowns. Perhaps? Or an arty shot of the Science Center? The ghost of Henry Kissinger? Or maybe the new Dunkin' Donuts which might someday be built on Boylston Street...
