...success of the boycott this year "indicates that the students are more serious than some administrators, such as President Bok, seem to believe," Frolich said...
...power of this song is offset by two awful turkeys, "Adam Raised a Cain" and "Streets of Fire." Almost identical, they throb like a migraine with leaden, new-wave-inspired beats while Springsteen growls incoherently and lays down overamplified guitar riffs. These songs seem to be his answer to the anger of punk rock, but they sound more like annoying filler material...
...formal training as a sculptor, she did study drawing in Manhattan during the '50s under Hans Hofmann, the doyen of abstract expressionist teachers.

If you begin with 'I feel' you can get away with atrocities." Group-sex enthusiasts seem to spend so much time and energy in pouty encounters that Seligson comes to feel like an anthropologist listening to aborigines debate the possible function of an eggbeater. Still, she may have tarried too long among the Californicators. At one point she wonders: "How do I even know...
