...whole crop of new albums coming out next Tuesday, including ones by Janet Jackson, the Bee Gees, the Manic Street Preachers and KRS-One. But the one to listen to is the American release of Tropical Brainstorm, by Kirsty MacColl, who was tragically killed by a speedboat in Mexico last December. I’ve been saving up for the moment to write about MacColl, if only to point out someone with great pop chops (Janet Jackson will do fine without me giving her any publicity, presumably. Sorry Miss Jackson). MacColl’s songs are catchy without being stupid?...
...like a speedboat and a sailboat," said a Navy pilot. "The smaller, more powerful guy has the responsibility to avoid the bigger, slower one." Yet recently, as the U.S. stepped up surveillance flights in response to China's buildup in the area, the Chinese pilots had become more aggressive. "Sometimes they're so close you can see their faces," David Cecka, Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class onboard the downed plane, had told his mother.

Over the course of the next three days, we ventured into the desert, surveying exotic plants and animal life, always on the lookout for rattlesnakes, scorpions and coyotes. Afternoons were filled with trips in the speedboat, voyages of discovery. We would weave our way between narrow cliff walls a thousand feet high and explore canyons with such intriguing names as Forbidden Canyon, Dungeon Canyon and Hidden Passage. At every turn, we would find a surprise--a bizarre rock formation or a solid rock amphitheater suspended above...
