...helpful hints. It seems the show is more than just a demonic medley of Bowie tunes, artfully arranged with costumes and dance. It seems it is also Political. "This show is about the Harvard Committee on Central America and the editorial page of The Harvard Crimson [how nice], the neutron bomb and The 700 Club, Jerry Falwell and Ronald Reagan...
...planes were loaded with "anti-personnel devices," the conventional equivalent of neutron bombs, designed to slice people with indiscrimination. Our planes carried napalm, burning jelly that clung to humans. Our planes bombed dikes, and ruined farms, carpeted the country with craters, made an entire race cringe at the sound of a jet engine. One unanswered question, by the way, is how much of the barbarity of the North Vietnamese communist results from the shambles in which we left their land. We know many of our veterans came home from the war irremediable fucked up, still whimpering at fire fights acted...
...Eurocommunists may well try to increase their links with left-wing socialists.

But in 1978, after delegates from Moscow were dispatched to lead a youth march in Amsterdam against the neutron bomb, the Council rebelled. Since then, the church-sponsored group has deliberately held itself aloof from the Communists, although some cooperation does still exist on the local level. This year the Dutch intelligence agency declared the Council to be free of Communist penetration, and Interior Minister Ed van Thijn told the Dutch parliament...
