Someone at Apple seemed to think that George's solo debut called for a boxed three record set, complete with lyrics, a color poster, and different kinds of adorable record labels, all of which is kind of a drag. The inclusion of a third, "free" record, made up of several rather uninspired rock jams between George...

Because the Bomb is so much more inhuman than conventional arms, we are hypnotized by it and tend to overlook the inhumanity of many lesser weapons, such as the napalm and cluster bombs used in Southeast Asia...

"Why," he asks, revealing that his book went to press before the present financial crisis, "should idealism overlook the advantages of a perfectly functioning, booming economy?" A European may smile condescendingly at the compulsion of elderly Americans to try to stay young. But we should remember, says Tyrmand, that "many of his elemental securities are dependent on the American, childish, stubborn denial of surrender." In America, "only death...
