Then the snags reemerge. The album's other attempt to corner the feminist market fares poorly. "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves," sung with Annie Lennox, beats its anthemic theme over the head--"Now this is a song to celebrate/The conscious liberation of the female state...." Although Eurythmics' Dave Stewart gets in a few impressive licks, the tune buckles under the weight of its own significance...

Collaboration is the leitmotif--if there is any at all--on Who's Zoomin'. A bunch of Hot Stars get in on Aretha's Action as if they all wished to exploit (whoops, I mean insure) the Rebirth of a Legend. In addition to Lennox and Stewart, Peter Wolf chimes in for a phony duet (with an obvious nod to Mick and Tina) and Carlos Santana and Clarence Clemons drop by for a pair of specialty solos. It all adds up to what could have been but wasn't. Too bad Franklin doesn't have (just a little...

...physical presence is nothing if not revolutionary. Which is exactly what Producer Irwin Winkler was looking for when he cast Eurythmics Lead Singer Annie Lennox, 30, in the role of Miss Liberty in Revolution, an epic film about the American War of Independence, due out in December. "We thought she had the right kind of look for the period," says Winkler of the Scottish rocker. "We thought her voice would ring out in the crowd. It cuts through everything." In the film's opening scene, Lennox incites a mob to take a ship for the American cause from its owner...

...flag was hoisted in public, the flagpole snapped in two. Ciskei may not be paradise, but it is undoubtedly persistent. When the black "homeland" threw itself a raucous second-birthday party, the flagpole stood firm. As motorcycle teams, tribal dancers and drum majorettes performed in the local stadium, President Lennox Leslie Wongoma Sebe, 57, Homburg-hatted and morning-suited, cruised through the streets of Bisho, his capital city, in a black Cadillac. Then, guarded by a gang of security men in ill-fitting suits and sunglasses, Sebe led a flag-waving crowd through a spirited rendition of Lord Bless Africa...

...shrinking act seems to be working. Losses for 1983 were $485 million, vs. $1.74 billion the year before. Truck sales are strong, and the farm equipment business is sprouting healthily. The best part came in January, when Lennox told shareholders that Harvester's creditors had agreed to refinance its multibillion-dollar debt. Without that understanding, the company would undoubtedly have been forced into bankruptcy...
