...late 1940s the band was nearly twice as large as today's group, with all the young men returning home from the war. In those days, members wore bright red jackets and ties over white pants with a red stripe. Five years after Segal began marching, the band sported its now familiar crimson jackets...
Hitchcock's career began in the late '70s with the Soft Boys, who broke up in 1980. He spent the '80s and early '90s with the Egyptians, steadily building a huge underground of connisseur-grade fans who came to shows as much for his surreal, almost Dadaist rants between songs as for the music. In May of 1996 he played a 30th anniversary remake of Bob Dylan's seminal Royal Albert Hall concert in a pub near the famed original venue, and later in the year he released a solo album dubbed Moss Elixir. In 1998, longtime fan Johnathan Demme...

There's no point trying to connect the dots, because they're all over the page. Radar data released by the NTSB late Wednesday showed that EgyptAir Flight 990 plunged precipitously at nearly the speed of sound for 16,000 feet, but then climbed about a mile - and possibly began breaking up in midair - before falling into the ocean. That might suggest a last-ditch attempt by the crew to gain control of the stricken craft, which could have broken up under structural stress if the pilot had attempted to pull too quickly out of a 700-mph dive...
