Members of the indie community are wary, almost paranoid, about the movement's being copied or co-opted by the mainstream. "One of the things that I think has really affected the underground negatively," says Bill Wyman, columnist for a Chicago alternative newspaper, "is this whole idea that this is 'our' little scene, it's for us, we play really loud music, we don't want fans, we don't want major record deals, it's uncool to be popular and to publicize your band...
...Parc de l'Escorxador in Barcelona is probably the best. But this takes nothing away from the brilliance, even the genius, of his earlier work -- especially in the '20s and '30s, when he was in Paris and making the finest paintings associated with the Surrealist movement. Miro always used to be referred to as ''the great Spanish artist,'' which is technically true but culturally wrong. He was a Catalan artist, and the difference -- as anyone who knows Catalans will know -- mattered greatly to him. Catalunya, that triangle in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula whose capital is Barcelona, has always...
...those who have seen it, Pripyat is a place of silence, devoid of life. The only movement that suggests human habitation is the flutter of laundry on clotheslines. But the laundry has been there, day and night, since April 27. On that day, most of the town's 40,000 citizens hastily collected a few belongings and piled into buses that evacuated them from the vicinity of the shattered Chernobyl nuclear reactor only half a mile away.

At ballet school in Leningrad, her talents were spotted early. Says Vinogradov: ''I saw she had unique possibilities. She feels the movement very profoundly, and she is very beautiful on stage.'' In the stratified Soviet system, he has brought her along relatively fast. He felt he was taking a chance when he put her in Swan Lake in Paris during the company's 1982 engagement because her portrayal was not yet ''precise...
...Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, N.C., neatly avoids this trap.) Knox's book does not entirely forswear such an approach. But for the most part, the story is told in the unadorned, often eloquent words of the American dogfaces and grunts who fought there. The painfully complete, troop-movement-by-troop-movement narrative chronicles the war from its beginning to the Marines' heroic breakout at the frozen Chosin Reservoir in 1950. The story unfolds chronologically, with multiple, overlapping narrators. This is war as professional soldiers remember it, calmly and often impersonally; moral nuances are left to the civilians. Marine Private...
