...third and the first person--"There comes a time in a man's life," he explains in the midst of crisis, "when he thinks of himself in the third person"--but never varies in his ribald, poetic, heart-driven rhetoric. Revolutionary and demagogue, seducer and saint, political puritan and sexual adventurer, he sees Kush as an extension of himself--a citadel of purity besieged by the persistent corruption of American capitalism and, worse, Western morals. He rejects it all, railing and carping in Updike's brilliant satirization of tunnel-eyed Marxist bombast, and secures his not-so-willing nation against...
Delta House's first episode, written by the Lampoon veterans who created the movie, is always amusing. Alas, the original's gleeful sexual reveries cannot be duplicated on TV, but the antiauthoritarian tone is intact. There are even gags about Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Arnold Toynbee, thus placing Delta House roughly two intellectual cuts above CBS's pompous The Paper Chase. Let the viewer beware, however, for future episodes will be written by different hands. Should ABC fail to exercise strong quality control, this promising spin-off could quickly go into a tailspin...

He's always powered his songs with two emotions, woman-hating sexual frustration and corporate paranoia. On Armed Forces, the paranoia takes over and twists his music into some very strange, chilly shapes and sounds...
Behind all this dramatic song-writing lay anger--not a punk's stick-your-tongue-out anger at society, but the very personal anger of a man's failures with women. Track after track railed on about the fumbling, fear and deception that, at least for Costello, no "sexual revolution" ever relieved. On This Year's Model, another figure crept up behind Elvis the victim of women--Elvis the victim of corporate espionage, electronic surveillance, loss of privacy, depersonalization; Elvis the inhabitant...
...reluctantly agreed. The royal family also endorses the ulema's determination to enforce strict Koranic law on Saudi citizens. Two Britons recently were arrested and deported after being found with a lone woman at a seaside picnic. In September, three Saudi men were beheaded after being caught having sexual relations with a woman in a tent. Thus, with the Islamic law so rigidly enforced, it is most unlikely that the religious leaders would ever lead a resistance movement against the House of Saud...
