Scott's stories in Bits of Paradise give the impression that he wrote them quickly and without much attention, as if the bill collector were beating at the door. The stories are not hack jobs, but they are a bit slick and simplistic, making Fitzgerald's unmistakable heroes and heroines mighty unbelievable. Not surprisingly, eight of the eleven stories in this collection first appeared in the Post...
Jefferson Starship. If you can't stand the pretentiousness of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, you might want to give a listen to the poignant vocals of former Airplane member Marty Balin.

Indiana Republican officials also believe the Ford pardon decision may work in Bayh's favor. They are afraid the decision could mean less interest in the Ford visit to Indianapolis next month--a visit deemed politically beneficial to the GOP two months...
...director, Michael Campus, has a background in slick television reportage. This is his second feature, but Sonny Carson still has the glossy look of most network documentaries. Campus has tried to give the movie an anxious, scruffy look, but even the rough edges seem smoothed out and engineered with the calculation of a film maker on a sort of heartfelt slumming expedition...
