...record closes with another excellent ballad, "Moonlight Mile." I just don't know what to make of this song, although I love it. It's a bizarre cut, with words that are inaudible and music that sounds like the theme from Sayonara...
...lifeless beneath our wheels and exploded in passing on our glass less tangible adversary in the summer-you feel it moving invisible around you, winter a fair opponent, cold all behind the ears and in moon shadow more than afternoon suns naked in the midnight standing in the moonlight, with everything visible in precise shadow is quite silence, the reflected sun, fluid in its coolness is substantial as its warmth in day, contouring in degree around arms and neck and chest, a diminishing sensation into mystery of deeper shadow than sun an adobe ruin cut into and through a hill...
...hassles of band tours that the P. & T. singers used to endure. Their annual take is $15,000 to $20,000 a year. The composers make about the same.

Other experiments have had equally spotty success. More than 5,000 New York policemen now hold hack licenses and moonlight as cabbies. In addition, cops drive decoy cabs, and squad cars often follow taxis into high-crime areas. In some cities, a few cabs are equipped with police radios. Despite these measures, the cab crime rate in New York City has continued to soar. As one police official says: "Taxis...
