...this is the second version of Dillon's death. Isadore Mihalakis, a pathologist, declared that the shape and angle of the shotgun wound indicated that Dillon could not have shot himself accidentally. There was also no evidence of the burn marks that usually come from a gunshot at close range. Mihalakis concluded that Dillon was killed not while running but while sitting, and that his death was a homicide. The police declared Scher the chief suspect, charging him with murder...
...this scruffy, working-class section of Wichita are mostly poor. Many of the streets are unpaved, and most of the one-story aluminum-sided cottages look as if they would blow to pieces in a stiff wind. Until three years ago, the local school was in equally sad shape, plagued by some of the lowest grades and worst attendance rates in the city.

(Although the jets are more comfortable, there is no indication that they are any safer than turboprops...
...Come To Daddy, James has crafted a remarkable symphony of beats, percussion, found sound, distorted vocals and more beats. All in all, it is percussion--of every imaginable shape and color--that marks the album. Obsessed with cramming as many percussive hits into as small a time space as possible, James loads the album with polyrhythms, crazed snare hits and percussive sequences that simply cannot be described by words. When he occasionally pulls away the percussion, letting his ethereal, ghostly melodies rise to the top of the mix, it is like a breath of fresh air before he pulls...
