...party, the Indian economy's amazing growth rates indicate that the country is a nascent superpower - an America in the making. As evidence, they can point to the growing clout of Indian firms like Bennett, Coleman & Co., a privately-owned Mumbai media conglomerate that recently bought Britain's Virgin Radio. For the other group of economists, the boom has been an illusion: the majority of Indians have been excluded from the growth, poverty rates have stayed stagnant, and India is still just a Sudan with a little icing on top.

...That aural-verbal concoction would be startling enough just for a single on Vietnam-era AM radio, where the song hit the top of the pop charts. What's extraordinary is that Theme from Shaft somehow beguiled the Bel Air senior citizens who constitute the Academy membership. Hayes, a newcomer to Hollywood movie scoring, was up against such former and future Oscar winners as Johnny Mercer, Henry Mancini, Marvin Hamlisch and the Sherman Brothers.

Both. I remember going into the supermarket, a Gristedes on 86th Street and Broadway, and it was playing in the background on the street. Somebody had a transistor radio, and they walked in with it. I thought, Oh my God, that's me. That's an amazing moment, the first time you hear yourself on radio. It's still thrilling. And it was scary because there were all these people screaming at me at concerts and people spitting at me on the street...
