...producer of German electronic bands. On Systems of Romance, Ultravox abruptly departed from its first-record flirtations with Eno and the tempestuous attempts at punk mentality on the second release, Ha! Ha! Ha! The band took the Great Leap Forward, both in terms of control and content, shifting from mondo-meltdown rockers to cool and cerebral nouveau disco. The main interest moved to, the machines themselves. Push a button and watch the lights blink. It was hypnotic and irresistible...
...Thursday through Saturday, the New Theatre on Holyoke Street features a group that makes Kiss look like performers in a grade school Christmas play. The Tubes are synonomous with the word outrageous. Their lead singer goes under the name "Quay Lude" and song titles run along the lines of "Mondo Bondage" and "White Punks on Dope."

L'Espresso ran a poll of Curia opinions on whether Paul would step down (65% said no), and Il Mondo suggested waggishly that an unnamed cardinal was making book on the question. There are good reasons for Paul's retirement to be doubtful. For one thing, it would tend to reduce the office of Christ's Vicar on Earth by giving it a Protestant-style, temporal term...
