"Sandinista Backdoor Blues" told the story of the month he spent on a work project in Nicaragua, a land of "big red beans three times a day." As Murdock sang in one verse, "Self-determination, freedom, sovereignty/I do believe that my digestion's got the best...

Jayne Murdock, a Ross, Calif., schoolteacher, recalls how her dying mother at first refused to see her grandchildren after she was brought home from the hospital. But when the visiting hospice team began reducing her pain and reassuring her and her family in other ways, a new tranquillity set in.
