...Stein and Scott Fitzgerald who christened the period. The hackneyed phrases "lost generation" and "The Jazz Age" still seem very real and important to Americans--the despair and romance of American letters in the '20s and early '30s continues to fascinate. Americans have eagerly poured over biographies of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe and the like. Of the man who went so far toward establishing the reputation of these writers, however, little was known save scraps of stories and legends. Now, Scott Berg's biography goes far toward illuminating the life of Maxwell Perkins, an editor for Scribner's who came...

This album is concerned with sex, love, dreams and survival. The greatest works of art are nearly always probing these themes, and Jagger's lyrics are honest because in their irony and pity they reflect the ambiguities that color these themes in reality. The Stones' music once again is as relentless and streamlined a vehicle for Jagger's visions as it was in 1972. Now the problem...
