...Politics. Not all of New Times's exposés deserve much exposure. Political Editor Robert Sam Anson's rehash of John Kennedy's murder was full of speculation and assumptions. A story about discrimination on the Supreme Court's 250-member staff was short on recent examples...
Concerts abound this week. For example, Friday, the Garden features a triple bill with ZZ Top's "Bible-Belt Boogie"--a rehash of old blues licks at deafening volumes. Also the Blue Oyster Cult (embarrassingly bad) and Duke and the Drivers, listenable though still left in the shadows by J. Geils...

In fact, it is full of dated psychological posturings. Moreover, despite strong dancing by blond young (24) Aleksander Godunov, one of Plisetskaya's favorite partners, and Sergei Radchenko, the roles...
