...creative genius and worn-out cliche. The set itself is a three ring circus, a blaze of colors and graffiti. On one impressive wall a black-on-white silhouette of what appear to be jazz musicians and dancers on a ghetto street, the figures appear to laugh and then howl in anguish as the light changes. But another wall, a mural of floating patio furniture and suburban houses, is more than a bit obvious--it suggests a rip-off of the Rolling Stones' "Still Life" album cover.

For another, most members of Congress are sure to howl, "Not in my backyard, thank you!" The skinny Dense Pack basing mode, like the Race Track and the Shell Game and 29 others before it, is an accommodation to the hard fact that any large-scale MX scheme is subject to this double jeopardy. Political objections could, and should...
