...best songs, Long Way Home, he wrote, "There are three sides to every story:/ Yours, mine, and the cold, hard truth." There seems to be a lot of truth on this new album. Much of it sounds tough, as on one of Henley's favorite tracks, I Will Not Go Quietly ("It kicks ass more than any previous rock-'n'- roll songs I've done"), but nothing is delivered here with the jaded swagger that often got the Eagles branded as a slick bunch of SoCal libertines. That was mostly a bum rap, and it has taken Henley until...
...rules being considered on college campuses to punish students for making racist and other defamatory remarks go beyond social and commercial pressure to actual legal muzzling. The right-wing Dartmouth Review and its imitators have understandably infuriated liberals, who are beginning to take action against them and the racist expressions they have encouraged. The American Civil Liberties Union considered this movement important enough to make it the principal topic at its biennial meeting last month in Madison, Wis. Ironically, the regents of the University of Wisconsin had passed their own rules against defamation just before the ACLU members convened...
...horror of my parents, I returned to New York something of a convert. I was only joking when I flashed my Communist Party card -- it was actually a Lenin Library card -- but Communism in theory was appealing: everybody works for the greater good, no one is allowed to go hungry or homeless or jobless, no one gets rich at another's expense. Contrast that with, in today's terms, millions of homeless in America and television producer Aaron Spelling's building a $50 million house for himself in Los Angeles...
...final analysis, everyone from corporate chieftains to cab drivers realizes that the expansion cannot go on forever. "Someday, some event will end the extraordinary string of economic advances that has prevailed since late 1982," Greenspan told Congress last week. So far, Greenspan has provided a delicate touch in stifling inflation without making the kind of sudden moves that could trigger a recession. The U.S. may be in for only a brief and relatively innocuous reversal like the one in 1961 rather than the painful contraction of 1981-82, when the unemployment rate averaged 8.7%. The current slowdown...
...Force's estimate of the B-2's price tag, gargantuan as it is, may be far too low. In an exchange with Air Force Chief of Staff Larry Welch, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Les Aspin warned that Congress would never go along with the Air Force's plan to spend $8 billion annually -- more than twice the current SDI budget -- on the Stealth. At the more likely spending rate of $3 billion a year, said Aspin, the sticker price would soar to more than $1 billion for each plane...
