...suffer grievously these days because political party loyalty has declined, beliefs bend with the wind, leaders cannot lead. Majorities melt away. Being in office becomes the only objective. Fortunately, there is still some pure political sentiment around these premises, struggling for its life. Last week, with Teddy attacking Jimmy and Jimmy attacking Teddy and Jerry attacking Jimmy and George attacking the attackers, it seemed like old times. The language was enriched.

They reached the capital's suburbs in two days, after laying down a barrage of 122-mm Soviet artillery that was inaccurate but noisily effective. Amin's forces seemed to melt away under the African...
...Melt into the audience and enjoy the thrill of a vicarious performance. That's part of the fun...realizing that that could be you up there! Even if you've never touched a guitar, you'll have a great time just tapping your feet--just don't kick your cider on to the guy next...
