...Dawn. For their fifth single, the Seasons team produced a masterpiece. Anyway, their apotheosis. Since the simple days of "Sherry," Crewe and Gaudio had been listening to Phil Spector's productions for the Crystals and Ronettes; the arrangement is both burlier and more complex. The song begins with a snatch of spoken doggerel ("Pretty eyes of midsummer's morn, / They call her Dawn"). Then the drummer has a quick snit fit, and organ and chimes lead into the plaint, "Dawn, go away, I'm no good for you," as a guitar strums 2/4 Latino figures. There are six different melodic...

In September he flew to Rwanda to spend a few days with his longtime hero, Dr. Paul Farmer. There, he got a crash course in Third World medicine, interviewing beleaguered health officials, visiting families crowded into thatched huts and shadowing Farmer as he treated AIDS, TB and malaria patients with food and life-saving drugs.
