...sleeve/ I hope it isn't contagious/ What's her name?/ Is that her there?/ Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!" For this song about the amours of Chuck E., and for a fine new album full of similar vignettes of life on the main stem, you can thank Rickie Lee Jones, 24, who has never cut a record before but who has sung in hard-times joints "full of bikers, degenerates, drunken men and toothless women" as recently as last year.

Of the new fragments, all but one have been matched with the original finds...

By letting some dissidents leave, U.S. officials suggest, the Soviets can eliminate them as focal points for unrest. Similar reasoning may have helped persuade the Kremlin to permit freer emigration by Jews.
