Just what were all those hookers doing in the hallowed halls of the European Parliament in Brussels last week? The moral outrage echoing in the corridors may have suggested that a re-creation of Sodom and Gomorrah was being staged. Reason: about 125 prostitutes, including three men, were attending the Second World Whores Congress. They were in Brussels at the invitation of the Green- Alternative European Link, an alliance of environmentalist and independent leftist parties...
From the rim of a valley near the biblical city of Sodom on Israel's Dead Sea, the cave of Nahal Hemar (Hebrew for Asphalt River) is clearly visible in the face of the opposing limestone cliff, 9 ft. above the valley floor. Over the centuries, hyenas and nomadic shepherds have used the cave for shelter, and since the 1940s discovery of the famed Dead Sea Scrolls in another cave 40 miles to the north, Bedouin shepherds have scoured through Nahal Hemar vainly seeking similar treasures. Had the Bedouins probed deeper into the cave floor, their search might have been...
...Bernard's eclectic and refreshing selection presents many other visions, some quite surprising. The 19th century American Thomas Cole grandly evokes the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden; old sobersides Albrecht Dürer brings a light-hearted touch to, of all things, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; and John Martin, a 19th century Englishman with a 20th Century-Fox mind, offers a Cinemascopic Belshazzar's Feast that obviously showed Hollywood the epic handwriting on the wall...

In one case, Lot represents a man who has murdered his own parents, throwing the defendant on the mercy of the court because he is now an orphan. When Jehovah condemns the town, Lot flees with his family. His wife, of course, turns into the traditional pillar of salt...
...Infidels, he seems reconciled to restlessness. He also sounds full of fight and the same kind of lacerating spite that passes through the heart like a spike. Jokerman, the album's stunning opener, carries a typically barbed and enigmatic rebuke: "You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah/ But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister." The jokerman of the title, like many of Dylan's metaphorical protagonists, is part salvation hunter, part satanic twister, and the whole record is like a loosely arranged pilgrim's progress through emotional...
