Roadblocks are not new, but lately they seem to be coming back into vogue. Their goals vary. Police in Montgomery County, Md., have been running daily blocks to snare drunken drivers. Last month a federal task force set up a continuing checkpoint on U.S. 1, the only road leading out of the Florida Keys, primarily to detect illegal aliens. Says Lawrence Sherman, director of research for the Police Foundation: "It's a technique with a great deal of potential...
...York City's Democratic Mayor Ed Koch termed the Reagan plan "a con job, a snare and a delusion, a steal by the Feds," adding, "I don't think he understands the impact of what he is doing."

If the machinery jams when the arm is extended, one of the spacemen will have to climb...
...Tattoo You, the music is raw, the message is clear and simple. The result may not be as consistently good as it once was, but it's the best you can get: the slicing sound of a slightly out-of-tune Stratocaster dissecting a simple bass line, the snare drum snapping on 2 and 4, and Mick Jagger offering, "I'll take you places you've never, never seen before, yaaaaaah." To love the Rolling Stones is to love rock and roll, because both are just right at just the right time and nothing more...
