...record itself is permeated with gross misuse and abuse of synthesizers. The fervent pounding of ex-drummer Topper Headon has been replaced on many tracks by ineptly programmed drum machines. The rhythm tracks as a whole are little more than another inept rehash of mainstream British synth-pop. Even Strummer's sharp-edged guitar which figured so prominently on the band's early works, has lost its character, now grinding like a Husker Du album played into a feather pillow. It is generally accepted that Strummer has no vocal talent, and this record provides precious little evidence to the contrary...
...Alan Greenspan, president of the Townsend-Greenspan economic consulting firm and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ford.

...four-hour grilling before a grand jury in The Bronx in New York City. The jurors had been looking into Schiavone's subway work at the request of Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola, a four-term Democrat. Donovan claimed that the jury was doing nothing more than "a rehash" of "the baseless allegations" that Silverman had investigated. It was all "a witch hunt," he said. The Labor Secretary said he had hired independent experts to give him lie-detector tests, and "needless to say, I passed with flying colors." Declared Donovan: "I will not be indicted...
...collaboration with Peter Gabriel. "Excellent Birds" will probably and unfortunately become a hit single. And much of the album utilizes the African polyrhythm and synthesizer effects that made Talking Heads' Remain in Light such an influential album. Nevertheless, this album is not a sellout; nor is it a rehash of the African-funk sound which Brian Eno and David Byrne pioneered in the early...
