...ended with a half-finished panel concerned with the ever-pressing question, "When is a Latino an African?" I would actually love to know when a Latino is ever an African. I have no idea when that is ever the case. I would have been intrigued to hear Colescott's own perspective on the question, but, of course, he did not share...
...presenting this archive of unused material, Springsteen begs the listener to question the choices made in assembling previous albums. It is difficult to say why "A Good Man is Hard to Find," the second disk's meditative song about the Vietnam War dead, did not make the cut for Nebraska, which included not only several forgettable songs--"Highway Patrolman," "Used Cars"--but also some of Springsteen's most idiotic whooping ("State Trooper").

"The decision seems to indicate that the Clinton Administration believes that the pursuit of justice is the most important consideration here," says TIME correspondent William Dowell. "But this could be a Pandora's box, because it inevitably raises questions about America's involvement in the Chilean coup." Previously declassified U.S. documents implicate Pinochet in human rights abuses, but also suggest that the Nixon administration actively encouraged the coup that brought the dictator to power...
