...radical splinter group, the Islamic Amal. Musawi has since forged close links with Islamic Jihad, the Muslim extremist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks on the U.S. and French compounds last October, and the murder of Beirut's American University President Malcolm Kerr last month. Within the mainstream Amal, young Shi'ites have attacked occupying Israeli troops in southern Lebanon with the encouragement of pro-Khomeini Shi'ite clerics, despite pleas from the Amal's leaders for passive resistance. During last week's fighting, zealous young Amal militiamen launched puritanical bottle-smashing attacks...
...audiences, by what he has just said. George McGovern's sincerity, clarity and professorial calm have piqued the interest of a new generation of college students who were children when the former presidential candidate led his party against the Viet Nam War in 1972. To the mainstream of voters, however, he appears quaint, quixotic and too liberal. Reubin Askew remains a blur, with low name recognition even among recent residents of his home state, Florida.

Best of all, one sees the art in depth and in context: a full room of Lotto, another of Bassano...
...really is a pure jazz player with strong Afro-Cuban roots in his music," says Lundvall, who has moved on to become president of Elektra/Asylum/Nonesuch Records. "You hear that Latin fire. He has a sound that is totally identifiable." Paquito's easy access to the American jazz mainstream is largely attributable to his zest and finesse on the alto and soprano sax, and partly ascribable to the fact that he is playing in a familiar groove, which may stray in a friendly fashion from the melody but never moves entirely out of the neighborhood...
