...RECENT AD in Rolling Stone touted a new band from Ireland as "Standing between you and assembly line rock." Apparently wishing to dissociate itself from the squadrons of European bands flying in with the new "dance" sound, U2 could succeed even without Irish passports. The group has the superbly danceable beat of Ul-travox, replacing only the flashy electronics and crisp engineering of the high-tech groups, with the simple melodic energy of the best sort of folk music...
...Nobody will succeed in intimidating [American Jews] by anti-Semitic propaganda. They will stand by us. This is the land of their forefathers-they have the right and duty to support...

Withdrawal of U.S. support will guarantee a popular victory; disinterested and genuine American support for the regime established in the wake of revolution will help assure not only that these nations develop democratically, but that they reject the obligation-laden entreaties of the Russians...
