...Aubuisson's solution to his nation's difficulties is straightforward: a military victory over the guerrillas. He has drawn cheers at rallies by promising on occasion that, if elected, he will deport all "leftists," a term that some rightists interpret as incorporating anyone who favors dialogue with the insurgents.

"The musician in me really resents having to interpret my music into something visual," says Billy Joel. "But the thing that outweighs all of that is that video is a form of communication. Why not use every means of communication available?" Joel has communicated extremely well-his videos are among the genre's most elaborate and effective...
