...murders are believed to be the work of a single suspect, quickly dubbed the "Green River Killer," who appears to have ended his monstrous spree in March 1984. Over 20 months, the killer may have murdered as many as 46 victims, since nine local women remain missing and are presumed dead by his hand. By contrast, John Wayne Gacy, convicted in 1980 of more murders than anyone else in U.S. history, was found guilty of killing 33 boys and young...
...This monstrous synthesis comes to life on such creations as "DMZ." Davis sings in a Louisiana drawl about a dangerous neighborhood, while LeBlanc and bassist Ned "Hoaky" Hickel shout punk-style, "DMZ! DMZ!"

...criticisms are such timeworn staples of conservative oratory that by now anyone who reads about welfare can reel them off from memory. The system is a monstrous mess: it breaks up families, traps the poor in degrading idleness and breeds a self-perpetuating cycle of illegitimacy, poverty and government dependency. It must be changed by training or even forcing people who get public assistance to become productive members of society. Move them off the welfare rolls and onto payrolls...
