...dears, those who survived, get together for high-priced reunions or shadow plays of their early luster. But thanks to the miracles of archival scholarship and entrepreneurial greed, you can still hear the Beatles, see the Rolling Stones, in their prime. The third and final Beatles Anthology double album has unpolished gems from the band's last two years together. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, on video and CD, is a long-lost 1968 concert that Mick Jagger & Co. shared with the Who, Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull and--guess who--John Lennon and his bride Yoko...
...public opinion does count. Suzanne Jenkins and her Florida neighbors have been living since August in the shadow of a 150-ft. tower that sprouted, toadstool-like, almost overnight. A month ago, however, the company that built it, InterCel, bowed to community pressure and consented to take the tower down. Here in Du Page County, PrimeCo has agreed to consider other sites.

The Interior Minister last week went so far as to hint broadly that Lebed had links with Chechen...
...agreement that would be unacceptable to many of his countrymen, hoping thereby to destroy a dangerous rival. But, says Charles Townshend, a professor at Keele University in England and a specialist on the British rule of Ireland, Collins was anything but the "simple rebel." He was, in fact, this shadow government's minister of finance and perhaps the ablest politician in the cabinet. He was not gulled by his President into negotiating with the Brits or fooled by them into taking less than he could have got. As for Jordan's implication that De Valera may actually have been complicit...
