...Gary Huttenhoff, a real estate appraiser who has just picked up his laminated wallet-size permit from Sheriff Anderson's office in El Paso County: "The police take care of the public, not the individual. This is a great chance for people to defend themselves." One of the most potent advocates in the Texas debate has been Suzanna Gratia, who watched helplessly as a deranged gunman executed 23 people--including her parents--at a cafeteria in the town of Killeen four years ago. At the time, Gratia's own .38-cal. was lying in the trunk of her car because...
Observe the case of the KGB. Following the departure of Mikhail Gorbachev, its divisions were split into a multitude of less potent directorates eventually accountable to the democratically-elected government.

While it's not the most original theme for a song, the band pulled it off with a kind of potent excess, as Armstrong snarled, "Here it is/ Here I am/ Turn it up fucking loud/ When I got the music I got a place to go." Their next song, the speedy "Nihilism," was performed equally successfully. Armstrong announced the song as being about Frederiksen's hometown. Perhaps not surprisingly, Frederiksen...
