...lose every bit of their sanity and proceeded to loot, burn and murder innocent citizens. Why? I don't know, maybe someone does, but all we who do not know see is smoldering rubble, homeless people, and the corpses of those who were the sniper's prey. There is nothing more frightening than seeing what appeared to be a sane world turn into a grotesque horror picture. I am sad. I cannot even begin to describe how sad I am to see what has happened to my people. I will be proud to tell my children that...

...part of a great musical continuum. It relates both backwards to concerts that have come before and forward to performances that have yet to materialize. Every concert is commentary on every other, and in itself is incomplete.

He still goes after marlin off Baja California, hunts deer in the Sierras. His other prey and preoccupation is Communist expansion. He was a prime mover of the old anti-left Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American I deals. Today, his cause is Viet Nam. "Once you go over there," he says, "you won't be middle-of-the-road. Bobby Kennedy and Fulbright...

...from U.N.C.L.E. but the glamour is a myth. Interpol never makes a pinch; it is merely the information broker that helps the world's police to help one another. The catch sounds small (some 2,000 arrests last year), but the effect is large. Interpol's prey is the big-time international crook-the jet-borne jewel thief or heroin smuggler who cannot be caught unless police spin a global...
