...KARL HENDRICKS TRIO Sings About Misery and Women CD/LP (Fiasco) Karl Hendricks' sadnesses are our reward. Miserable he may be, but he's not about to abandon his calling: that of writing spiffily memorable rock tunes, enough of them to drag us out of our grunge-induced lethargy up to the heights of Punk Rock Simplicity Mountain (which is where Nirvana thought they were leading us in the first place, right?). Most of Karl's songs have a crunchy college-rock beat (like Superchunk) though a few of the best, like "Romantic Stories from the War," are slow dissections...
...true. And yet how curious. For Rosenthal wrote and signed the Beijing catalog essay too. Well, hey, Karl Marx used to say that capitalist culture harbored contradictions. But it took this English curator to bring them to the point of total cognitive dissonance: preening himself as the voice of American avant-gardes on one side of the world, slagging them off as "detritus" on the other...
Happily, most of Horn's eccentric machines aren't so overblown as this. The image of sex-as-mechanism is one of the oldest tropes in modern art.

Even if he resumed professional playing, he intended to ask the Celtics to provide a defibrillator (a machine that shocks arrhythmic hearts back to a regular beat) and a cardiologist at each game. "He told me he was 97% sure he'd come back," says Karl Fogel, Lewis' former coach at Northeastern University. "That led me to believe it was really fifty-fifty. An athlete normally talks about 110% when he's sure...
...dozens of young people who helped write the declaration passionately defend its contents. "We see this as an opening salvo," says Jonathan Karl, 25, a writer and editor at Freedom House, a human-rights group. "We want to put people on notice that we have a direction, and we want these to be the central topics of discussion and action by our generation." Bill Strauss, 46, co-author of the book 13th Gen: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail? and one of the few participants in the group over 40, compares the declaration with the anti- Establishment Port Huron Statement issued...
