...with dancers," explains Zappa. "In one scene a bartender gets so busy that he's torn in half. Most dancers would have a hard time with that one." Still, old-time Zappers who fear that the long-haired composer is about to change his record label to Deutsche Grammophon have nothing to fear. Says the mangy maestro: "I still enjoy making rock-'n'-roll records, and I have no intention of getting a tuxedo or a baton grafted onto my body...
...stranger and more wondrous than any of his own inventions: a little animal called a Mogwai, with a kitten's purr and the forlorn eyes of an orphan puppy.

According to Washington's figures, 96 people were killed by death squads last January, compared with 228 during the same month a year earlier, 279 in January 1982, and 665 in January 1981. Though the toll hit 100 in March, Administration officials claim the long-term trend is downward.
