...finest vocal on the album, in the song "Meeting Across The River," capsules the false bravado of a Jersey hood asking his friend Eddie for a ride through the tunnel to New York City, where his connection is waiting. But the effect is almost ruined by the lilting trumpet accompaniment, which would be perfect for sitting-on-the-front-porch-swing-sniffing-the-honey-suckle-with-yer-sweetie, but here, makes mush of the vocal. The longest song on the record, "Jungleland," also suffers from over-orchestration: a string section introduces the central piano theme and channels the song...
...highways of southwestern Jefferson County, a largely blue-collar section. Honking their horns to signal their opposition to busing, many of them headed toward Valley High School. One youth parked in the middle of the highway−halting traffic completely−and to the cheers of onlookers ripped the hood from his car.

...will be braked by retrorockets for what is hoped will be a gentle setdown near the mouth of a 2,500-mile-long canyon, perhaps the site of a former drainage basin. (Viking II's lander is targeted for an area near the planet's north polar hood, where moisture may still exist.) Instead of jet fuel, which would contaminate Mars with hydrocarbons, the landers' descent rockets are powered by purified hydrazine, a nitrogen-hydrogen compound. This, explains Richard S. Young, chief program scientist for the mission, will cause minimal pollution of the Martian environment...
