...Jamaican capital, a skyrocketing oil import bill and blundering representatives in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF received particular wrath from Manley, who blamed the Fund for forcing a Jamaican currency devaluation which he claimed had disabled the Jamaican economy. Symbols of last week's election, graffiti scrawled on the walls of Kingston and throughout the country, denounced the IMF for trying to prompt the downfall...
...wail of police sirens seldom subsides at the Academy Homes. Alpha Security guards constantly patrol the buildings, and the walls of the MBTA's orange line--which slices through the project--are almost completely obscured by graffiti. Poor, extended and usually fatherless families occupy the two massive structures which rise out of the haze and debris of Roxbury. Most of the adults are alcoholics or drug addicts. The children--who comprise more than 60 per cent of the residents--run in gangs, calling themselves the Warlocks, the Crazy Homicides or the Wild Bunch. The environment is not conducive...
...Waits' black '64 Thunderbird is parked in a used car lot, up against a graffiti-covered wall. That is, one imagines the T-Bird is black. Caked with an impenetrable layer of L.A. dirt, the broad-flanked sedan could be chartreuse for all anyone can tell.

Strauss's partisans are also capable of hard-ball politicking. In Bavaria, a few self-appointed goon squads, some sporting billy clubs, roam the streets, occasionally roughing up people caught defacing their champion's posters with Hitler mustaches and other graffiti. After Film Director Werner Schroeter reportedly suggested that someone should feed Strauss a bomb disguised as a sausage, the city of Augsburg withdrew his commission to stage an opera there. In Regensburg and Munich, some factory workers have been fired for wearing anti-Strauss buttons. An 18-year-old schoolgirl in Regensburg was expelled for refusing...
...including the precept that a finished film really is finished. Coppola sutured his two Godfather films, along with an hour of outtakes, into a four-night NBC extravaganza, and last year he previewed several versions of Apocalypse Now before deciding which one he wanted-for now. Lucas rereleased American Graffiti with additional footage. Still, Coppola and Lucas are hardly the only directors to have joined the emerging slice-and-splice school: Stanley Kubrick cut 19 minutes from 2001: A Space Odyssey a week after its release in 1968, and three minutes from The Shining after its opening this May.
