...Israel. They neglect to mention the terrorist means often employed in this war and the tyrannical regimes that rule over most of the Arab League. Instead, they focus on anything negative about Israel, using "witty" little phrases such as "Don't Say You Didn't Know" and displaying lurid photographs devoid of all context. Why are there no SAS posters dealing with the positive aspects of Palestinian autonomy, rather than negative rhetoric against Israel? In the absence of such "positives" one wonders if the SAS is concerned with Palestinian rights or the destruction of the Jewish State. Adam A. Sabra...
...seems well and good--until Tom, in a straightforward, unapologetic manner that characterizes the entire novel, relates the lurid tale of his punishment for the time, as a young child, that he killed the last bald-eagle in Colleton County "for pleasure, for the singularity...
Murdoch arrived in New York by way of London, already schooled in scandal. In Britain he owns the backstairs-gossip weekly News of the World, with the largest circulation of any English-language paper in the world, and the lurid London Sun, which pictures a topless young woman on Page 3 every day.

It was not the first rock musical -- Galt MacDermot's Hair preceded it, as did the Who's "rock opera" Tommy -- but its impact was extraordinary. Lloyd Webber hated Director Tom O'Horgan's lurid, heavenzapoppin' staging, which featured a transvestite Herod, Judas in silver briefs and Christ emerging from a huge chalice clad in a $20,000 glittering robe. Christian as well as Jewish groups protested the show as offensive, but it ran for 720 performances before heading off to the West...
