...boogie woogie piano player and writer (he wrote or co-wrote all 25 tunes). This set, mostly from 1956-57, features Curtis at his absolute best; his stutters, yowls and screams on sax constitute the perfect Rock & Roll instrumental voice. When Sam Price and friends hit their boogie woogie stride on tracks like "Roll'em Sam," "Bar B-Q Sauce" and "Honky Tonk Caboose," nothing else seems to matter...
Kelly Gately picked up a loose ball after a B.C. corner kick and raced down the right sideline. The sophomore winger then lofted a beautiful pass into the middle for St. Louis, who didn't break stride until the ball slid past the B.C. goalie, off the left post and into...
...manner of special exercises.

This unwontedly watchful and volatile electorate has already turned the race into a highly personal, potentially nasty, intensely competitive-and, yes, nasty, intensely competitive-and, yes, exciting-contest. The voters who could give Republican Challenger Ronald Reagan a lead as high as 28% over President Jimmy Carter in July and then snatch it all away in August can hardly be regarded as the rock-ribbed supporters of party and candidates that...
