...more than 150 attacks on asylum-seeking foreigners had been registered since the mayhem began. In Ketzin, 10 miles from Berlin, 44 Auslander barely escaped with their lives when the building they inhabited was razed by torch throwers. Official calls for special police powers to confront the skinheads and neo-Nazis did not seem to deter anyone. Although there was no breakdown in civic order, the attacks reached to the front door of the government: right-wingers threw fire bombs at a house of asylum seekers a mile from Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Bonn office...

In a hail of rocks and Molotov cocktails, skinheads and neo-Nazis in the eastern German port of Rostock tried to storm an apartment block housing 200 asylum-seeking Romanian Gypsies, beginning an ugly battle that would last all week.

Originally the darlings of Manhattan's neo-disco scene, the members of DEEE- LITE burst into the musical mainstream two years ago with a debut album of thumping, synthesized rhythms that sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. Infinity Within, the group's new release, maintains the momentum. Super D.J. Dmitry Brill and Towa "Towa" Tei produce exuberant mixes that slam along at up to 130 beats a minute, and singer Lady Kier Kirby handles the vocals with a newly polished self-assurance. This time out, the trio has added some substance to its style with politically correct lyrics...
