...MOOD OF AMERICA: Basically, we are spiritually healthy people. But there is a sort of unrest, even a sense of emptiness. Most people need a sense that they're part of some common purpose, and it has to be a purpose that they believe in and think worthwhile.

Rumanians have long had a sort of national crush on France. Though surrounded by Slavs, they claim direct descent from the Roman colonizers to whom they owe their Latin character...

The hero, Frankie Lee, dies in a whorehouse that Judas Priest convinced him was some sort of heaven. In this one, Dylan twists his images a little more the way he used to. Frankie Lee is Dylan's conception of most people. "Nothing is revealed," says a little boy (Dylan) at the end. He is saying Frankie is revealed to be a nothing. And if Dylan...
