Last week as the trial began, the prosecution in Regina v. A and B (Two Children) -- no other identification is allowed -- told of how Denise Bulger, 25, was buying meat at the butcher in a mall when she looked down to find that her high-spirited James had vanished from her side. Only a few minutes later, as she frantically searched for him, James was walking off with two boys, his hand trustingly in theirs.

...rock in its giddy, roiling infancy. The singing voice is familiar too. That pure tenor -- its piercing power and excellent elocution suggesting a glee-club star who's just been kneed by the school football coach -- could belong only to Marvin Lee Aday, known to the world as Meat Loaf.

Bat II slipped through a crack in the pop Zeitgeist to occupy the No. 1 slot on Billboard's album chart, above Nirvana and the other pricey rockers half Meat Loaf's age (46). Somebody must like this stuff, someone who remembers what rock once did -- and still could -- sound and feel like. Three, maybe four chords; an amoral homily twisted into a catch phrase; adolescent yearning and ecstasy so confused that they become harmony...
