...TONES FOR JOAN'S BONES (Vortex). There is a brilliant clarity, like tumbling diamonds, to the tones Pianist Corea polishes off here. His touch is firm and percussive, his ear tuned toward a definite, stirring pulse. In Litha he strings together quick, imaginative melodic fragments that are the mark of the alert modernist. When backing the other soloists (Joe Farrell, tenor; Woody Shaw Jr., trumpet), he spreads sprays of dazzling notes that support and enhance the horns' flights.

Further, middle-road Republicans like Nixon discovered big, centralized government as a target long before Wallace arose as a threat and Southern Republicanism as a lure.

In track the comparable 400-meter dash mark has dropped only...

Mark Welsch, a graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School who works as a social counselor in downtown Chicago, believes that pot can be "a significant vehicle to self-realization." Others suggest that the morality of pot smoking depends on whether or not it is psychologically helpful to an individual. If marijuana is a crutch or a way of escape, says Methodist Minister Terry Cooper of Los Angeles, then it is damaging for an individual...
