...Business Federation in Brussels. Two men jumped from the vehicle, set it on fire, then fled, scattering handbills along the way. When firemen arrived on the scene a few minutes later, the van exploded, killing two of the fire fighters. The blast also injured twelve passersby. Belgian Justice Minister Jean Gol called the incident part of a concerted, Continent-wide terrorist campaign. Four other bombs also went off last week in Cologne and Dusseldorf, West Germany, intended to protest the economic summit of the major industrialized nations...
Although it's fronted by a Frenchman, the Stranglers used to thrash harder and scream louder than almost any other band. But Jean-Jacques Burnel, the vocal power behind the band, anticipated the swing of the gustatory pendulum on their album, IV, alienating some of their hardcore spikes-n-nails support. Aural Sculpture, the Strangler's latest, completes their metamorphosis from outraged punk outcasts to ingratiating pop insiders...
...SEPTEMBER 1940, Jean-Paul Sartre, then recognized by the French literary community as a promising young author, was called into the service of his country as a meteorologist.

Many existential experts believe they formed the launching pad for his great work Being and Nothingness. But they are more balanced than the later work, possessing a tone so serene and conversations so casual that it is often easy to forget that existentialism...
Throughout The Diaries, we witness the duality of the man Jean-Paul Sartre as he approaches existence in the physical sense of an individual's existence and in the abstract sense of collective man's experience. He juxtaposes the crude material with the sophisticated abstract. He jumps from talking of a "posting inspection," during which "they made us piss into beer-mugs" and "strip to the buff," to nothing that "the method of Heidegger and such as may come after him is basically the same as that of Descartes." But for all his occasional snobisme, he returns to a realization...
