...Crimson has every right to express its liberal opinions straight out of the Dark Ages. But you should draw the line at deliberate insults aimed at individual students or at attempts to distort the facts so as to ridicule undergraduate organizations. I found your latest foray in the former category, in which you referred to me as "SyKahane," deeply offensive. Meier Kahane is a militant racist who has called for the expulsion or extermination of Arab Moslems in Israel.

Nothing in the Portland show deviated in any significant way from the live album, Alchemy, recorded two years ago, except that the band had nine more songs from which to choose. Because Knopfler strives for perfection in the studio--and because he succeeds half the time--he tries to make his live songs sound like very loud copies of the songs on record--which he succeeds at almost all the time.
