...Chief Military Prosecutor's Office (CMPO) should forbid severing the bow from the dead submarine, as the cut would go through the hole in the hull caused by explosion, destroying forensic evidence that may point to the cause of the deadly accident. So far, the CMPO had kept mum. However, Novye Izvestiya, a well-informed Moscow- based daily, reported Thursday that the CMPO did indeed rule out cutting off the nose section.

Like the flower power ditties on 'Nuggets II', which contain lines that have comic value today ("My father's name was dad/ My mother's name was mum/ How can I be blamed/ For anything I've done?,") the Beta Band's songs compensate for their lack of profundity with their attention to harmony and tone. Just as most every track on 'Nuggets II' contains at least one moment where all the instruments come together to form...
