...three- or four-note range) where he's very thin. Granted, his voice isn't double-tracked, as Valli's often was on records, and I caught Young on a night when he'd already done a matinee. On the pristinely produced Jersey Boys original cast CD (with helpful liner notes by Gaudio aficionado and ex-TIME senior editor Charles Alexander), Frankie sounds better, more Valliesque. He shines particularly when singing the James Moody jazz version of "I'm in the Mood for Love"-great work, and a nice change of sonic pace...
...Love, in the Seasons' songs, was not insulated from the outside world; it was either buffeted or strengthened by it. As Dave Marsh observes in his astute liner notes for the Anthology CD, class restrictions and parental authority play a big part. The narrator in "Dawn"-he could be the kid from the Jersey streets addressing his dream girl from a Manhattan penthouse-has convinced himself that it's better to step away rather than suffer the aristocrats' condescension.

Maritime authorities are worried not only that the number of attacks off Somalia has jumped from last year, when just two were reported, but that Somali pirates are becoming more aggressive and skillful. In the past, most of the attacks in the region were on fishing boats close to shore...
...talk; violence was his recourse when the other side would not listen. One day in 1986 he sat down and wrote a letter to the government proposing a dialogue on the nation's future. This gesture received a secret but surprisingly willing response from President P.W. Botha, a hard-liner on apartheid who nonetheless had begun to sense his country's escalating dilemma. Apartheid was collapsing of its own inherent absurdity. Moreover, the outlawed A.N.C.'s 1984 call to make South Africa ''ungovernable'' had been answered by a surge of black demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience. To put down...
