...Vignette" is tastefully executed, but seems to meander and lose a little steam toward the end of its 11-minute span. The excitement picks up again with Haden's bluesy "Bay City," which leads into the centerpiece of the album, "La Pasionaria." The most extended performance on the album at 14 minutes, it also is the most ambitious in its incorporation of diverse musical idioms. Another Haden original, the mellow "Silence," and an appealing version of Ornette Coleman's "The Blessing" pass before Rubalcaba and company leave the audience with an impressive, incendiary rendition of Miles Davis' "Solar...
...Agee (excerpted earlier in this issue), focused on the dropping of the atom bomb. Later in that issue, in a new section called Atomic Age, TIME wrestled with the historic and moral implications of what passed for progress: Pain and a price attended progress. The last great convulsion brought steam and electricity, and with them an age of confusion and mounting war.

Despite the fact that fundraising efforts for the project have lagged, the University plans to go full steam ahead--after a nine-month planning process is completed in the fall...
Starr is moving fast to wrap up the Lewinsky part of his investigations. For one thing, as soon as he's off stage, the White House strategy of making him the issue loses steam. And since legal experts are divided on whether a sitting President can be charged with a crime--like most of them, Starr leans toward no--he's also not expected to indict Clinton himself, even if he does decide he has sufficient evidence to charge the President with perjury or obstruction of justice. Instead Starr is likely to hand off the whole mess to the House...
