...directions, he certainly encouraged them. The Doobies, who over the years have probably had more recruits than the all-volunteer Army, picked up Guitarist Jeff Baxter from Steely Dan, and that group's inverted rhythms, strange melodic breaks and jazzy riffs began, in homogenized form, to seep into the Doobies' music. Johnston dropped out of the group in 1975-accumulated years of hard touring and hard partying had given him an acute case of ulcers -and that same year Baxter suggested another draftee, a Steely Dan tour keyboardist named Michael McDonald...
...past, ground water was kept pure because the soil at the earth's surface could be counted on to act as a filtration system, a kind of geological "kidney" that would scrub out bacteria and other insoluble contaminants placed on or in the ground before they could seep down to the water table, the ground water's upper limit. But this filtration system does not reliably screen out the waste chemicals cropland now leach into the soil from a variety of sources, including cropland that has been sprayed with pesticides, and industrial dumps like the pools into which...

...tension has begun to seep across the "Green Line" (the pre-1967 western border of the West Bank) into Israel itself, where 575,000 Arabs live as Israeli citizens. More and more, the Israeli Arabs are complaining openly of being second-class citizens and protesting government seizures of their land for Jewish settlements. In Nazareth last week municipal workers were on strike demanding fiscal equality with Jewish communities. Arab Nazareth, with 45,000 residents, received $4.5 million last year while upper Nazareth, populated by 18,000 Jews, was allotted $8 million...
