...last year, high-fidelity stereo came to the VCR in the form of Beta hifi. The VHS version followed this year. Both are capable of extraordinary sound and their prices are accordingly high (list prices usually start at $1,000). Moreover, now that TV stations are beginning to broadcast programs in stereo, the machines can record in stereo as well...
...freeze-plus budget works its way through Washington's legislative maw, that comment will come to sound positively low key. The proposed clampdown on spending could attract an even broader coalition of lobbyists united in opposition than did the tax-reform plan. Moreover, for all the clamor in Congress to cut the deficit, many of the remedies advanced by Reagan would squeeze voter-sensitive programs like Medicare hard enough to make most elected officials wince.

...eerie morning stillness was broken by the sound of shooting in the airplane cabin. The terrorists, led by a young man identified only as Abu Saleh, pushed open the door and flung the body of their first victim onto the runway.

Assisted by Swiss diplomats, who made visits to the Tehran morgue, U.S. officials confirmed later in the week that they were "99% certain" that the murdered...
...Souther: Home by Dawn (Warner Bros.). Smooth ballads and caustic rockers about misfired romance and misguided adventure by one of the most adept exponents of what has come to be known, somewhat derisively, as "the L.A. sound."

Punk and new wave blew this kind of music out of the water, or at least seemed to. But the substance of new wave could not always keep pace with the style, which...
...Harvard student, I will be the first to say that I am not representative of American college students in general, simply because I do go to Harvard. This is not to sound elitist, but to state a fact. I am therefore angered by Caron's statement that "...each of the 18 students here brings interesting and important experiences that are surprisingly representative of Indians nationwide." How can Caron actually believe that after talking to five students he has enough evidence to make such a grossly erroneous statement. If we are representative of Native Americans nationwide, then why are there only...
