...sometime Reagan sympathizer in the '80s. Now in the '90s Young is a father figure for a new generation of alternative rockers. He turns the ignition key. The engine roars, tires spin and the Northern California roadhouse where his car was parked quickly fades in the rearview mirror. "Age," says the 49-year-old rocker, "makes no difference with music...
These days Young is running on a fresh, full tank of gas, and not just in his Lincoln. His new album, Mirror Ball (Reprise), is one of the most consistently rewarding works of his long, winding career.

Such mass gardening was supposed to help prevent juvenile delinquency, improve the national health and, in the process, "help beet the enemy."

Armed militias are the mirror reflection of the paramilitarization of federal law enforcement. The frightening images of tanks, helicopters and armored carriers assaulting the compound in Waco, Texas, encouraged many fearful, disturbed people to stockpile arms, play guerrilla-patriot and wait for the Apocalypse. The Oklahoma City bombing is Act II of the Waco tragedy. Act III will follow the "politics of escalation" because militias are the new Viet Cong to be rooted out of their enclaves. The government has not yet admitted to itself that it is already infected with a militaristic virus that has spread to many...
