Morrison's non-sequential images contribute to a lack of direction that is here the song's strongest quality. His phrasing masterfully switches emphasis on repeated lines, or works with an occasional interior rhyme, or manipulates certain lines. I've said before that Morrison uses his voice as an instrument better than anyone singing rock music today. And that is never truer than on "Autumn Song." I bet Sinatra would be proud...
Morrison has fallen back on his voice, and it's his best instrument. In the end, this one makes me want to go back and get those Ella Fitzgerald records away from...
...usual, the Russians are tight-lipped about the project. But Western observers believe that the spacecraft might release a smaller lander. If so, that would mean a rerun of last year's Mars 3 mission, when a TV-equipped instrument package was dropped on the Martian surface. The unit ceased sending signals after 20 seconds-possibly because it was buffeted by the Red Planet's hurricane-force winds. By contrast, the U.S.'s Mariner 9 spacecraft, launched at approximately the same time, worked for almost a year while in orbit around Mars, taking more than...

It is also reasonably certain that Peary's friends, who included newspaper executives, took special care and relish in destroying Cook. For all his shadiness, he still cuts a heroic figure. Unfortunately, the fullness of his personality is flattened by Eames' frequently naive...
