...Carter persuasively showed himself to be last week. His twelve-point margin in Pennsylvania proved conclusively that he could topple tough opposition in a big Northern industrial state. In Texas, his come-from-behind victory over Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen showed that not even a popular favorite son could slow the Carter bandwagon. The overwhelming successes?he has won eight of the first ten primaries?stunned old-line political leaders...
...next cut begins, Jagger reasserts full vocal control. "Fool to Cry" (available as a single) is a slow, haunting ballad heavily tinged with a soul orientation. An undulating string filled (string synthesizer) arrangement builds with the song as a lonely Jagger talks, cries and confesses. This, and the album's other ballad, "Memory Motel," a tough-tender song about life on the road, may be the most important works on the album, in signifying the direction the Stones are moving. These songs--intensely personal in their lyrics and musically straightforward--recall the autobiographical nature of early Jagger-Richard compositions, though...
...stage (he directed the original stage version of "Porgy and Bess" for example) but his pictures exude a creative excitement that seems to say to the pedestrian studio craftsman, "Well boys, here's a little trick you might pick up on."

Up against dozens of other drivers who spend each weekend with visions of Watkins Glen and Monte Carlo dancing through their heads, he hopes to pick up enough racing savvy to make it worth the slow and expensive climb towards the road racer's ultimate dream--driving a Formula One in Grand Prix competition...
Each year literally millions of U.S. workers are killed or crippled by job-related injury or disease. Six years ago, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to solve this pressing industrial problem. But progress has been slow, if measurable at all. Last year 12,400 workers were killed in industrial accidents, not a very significant improvement over the 13,700 who died in 1971, OSHA's first year; another 2.1 million suffered disabling injuries. The Public Health Service in 1973 estimated that there were 390,000 new cases of occupational disease in the U.S. every year...
