Still free on $75,000 bond, the nurses will appeal...
...universal language, from the flashy I Get a Kick out of You and Blow, Gabriel, Blow to the romantic experimental ballads Night and Day and Begin the Beguine. His polished lyrics have rarely been equaled-some scarcely need melody to support them: "Is it an earthquake/ or simply a shock?/ Is it the good turtle soup/ or merely the mock? . . . is it Granada I see/ or only Asbury Park...
