...huge adrenaline rush of low flying. It is addictive, and the faster and lower the better. Sensations are heightened in valleys, with mountainsides just off the wing tips. It is a visual flying process and certainly no place for inept pilots. This is no place for ad hoc or reckless flying. There can be no excuses: there is no escape from this ultimate responsibility. There is no air-traffic controller, no guardian angel. Low-flying accidents are usually fatal and are always traumatic.

After being labeled as the new indie rock saviors, Olympia's Sleater-Kinney has done something truly amazing with The Hot Rock: they actually made a great record.

The album opens with "Start Together," showcasing Corin Tucker's hair-raising wail over Sleater...

None of the defense arguments will make much of a difference to the local residents or to the large segment of Italy?s population that is left-leaning and opposed to an American...
Both Andre Braugher and Rip Torn deliver excellent performances as Verrett and Grant. Tension results between the two friends when they cannot agree on the best way to combat segregation. Verrett pursues equality with an almost reckless passion, while Grant still hopes to effect change through official channels. This same sort of tension is played out convincingly between Travis and his father, whose concern for Travis' safety makes him a constant check on his son's determined idealism...
