...disk itself is a typical example of pseudo-punk synth-pop. "Motion" moves nicely, and the apocalyptyic "Guillotine Day," among other tracks, finds Amphlett attempting to mimic ex-Sex Pistol John Lydon. The result, however, is far closer to a Pat Benatar rehash than something new. Lyrics again center on love and relationships, and are generally rather mundane...
...what the underground megamachine might accomplish is more boggling still: it would serve as a circular iron-and-steel racetrack for beams of subatomic particles, traveling at fantastic speeds, that would be smashed together in an effort to mimic conditions at the earliest moments of the universe. It would enable physicists to probe fundamental mysteries about the origin of matter and energy and could help them achieve a long-sought goal: to weave the four known forces of nature--electromagnetism, gravity, the weak force (responsible for radioactive decay) and the strong force (which holds atomic nuclei together)--into a single...

Only daytime is a slum for profits when it could be a gold mine; ABC's supremacy with its afternoon soaps helps it lead NBC in total network profits, despite the tailspin ABC has taken in the evening. Recently, NBC's afternoon schedule has begun to mimic the NBC prime time of the early '80s: its ratings are still abysmal, but its share of women in the 18 to 49 age group now rivals CBS's. Each week Tartikoff hosts a "Santa Barbara lunch," in which he and his staff watch the network's newest soap and discuss...
...early 60's also saw the magazine branching into parody issues. After securing a contract to put out a national parody of Mademoiselle in 1961, the 'Poon in 1963 went on to mimic the Saturday Review, and then Lan Fleming in a nationally distributed parody,Alligator...
