...addict speaks of his experience with methodone. "I, like anybody else who uses the stuff, just transferred addictions. The government says we can't do dope, so we line up at the juice center and get methodone instead. Half the junkies out there are addicted to methodone and mixing it with other drugs. When I was on methadone, because it was such a downer, I would get my treatment dose, start to nod, them mix it with a little coke so I could keep tuned in. The withdrawal from methadone is far more severe than from heroin, and it takes...
Andrew Sellon, who wrote the book and lyrics for the show, and Micheal Scubert, who composed the music, are familiar as the composer-writer team of A Little Knife Music, the Pudding show of two years ago. They describe their current opus as a mix "of the Romantic and the fantastic," set in Victorian times, and contend that, though some humor keeps it from breaking entirely out of the Pudding mold, the show has "much more than that going...
Some Belizeans- who are an ethnic mix of African, Mayan, Caribbean and European descendants - were still nervous that their little country had been left vulnerable by independence. Opposition politicians went so far as to protest the new status and boycott the independence ceremonies.

Earlier this year, Norman Mailer had led a campaign to secure parole for Abbott, largely on the basis of his writing talent. His letters from prison, collected under the title In the Belly of the Beast, were released to fair critical acclaim...
Leonard's victory now confirms him as a remarkable champion. He is a strange mix for a fighter, a combination of peerless skills and yearnings to transcend the brutal arena in which he displays them. When he returned from Montreal in 1976, he vowed not to be a professional fighter, preferring to go to college. But the endorsements that he had hoped would support him after his ballyhooed triumph never materialized-white athletes end up on Wheaties boxes, he bitterly asserted, blacks do not. So he took to the ring. For years, he counted his money and waited...
