...Black, does this mean I cannot? Does this mean I won't succeed unless I approach all white people hidden behind the veil of brotherly love and friendship like a conniving Sammy Davis Jr.? Spare me, Mr. Kilson, I will not stoop so low. As for your concept of success, take a look at all of the past few years' graduates presently enrolled at Harvard Law, Business, and Medical Schools, Stanford Law School, Duke Medical School, University of Chicago Law School, and a long list of others just as impressive. Let me tell you now that these are people whom...

...DIDN'T WORK because Duryea so successfully developed a schizophrenic image. With the conservative upstate vote relatively safe, if only by virtue of party orthodoxy, he has managed to do what no conservative Republican has been able to accomplish in 30 years--impress the city voters. Most of this success, granted, is traceable to Carey's singular inability to make a favorable personal impression on anyone outside the range of third cousin: with a Dukakis-like reputation for brusqueness and tactlessness, Carey simply doesn't score many points with the casual voter or party worker.

...called "The Last Time." There's a great orchestral work in "I Don't Wanna Lose You," a fine tune which may do well as a pop single; but the range and uneveness of the album as a whole make it almost impossible to label the work as a success or failure...

Bowie meets David Eno on the third side. Though the graffiti in the bathroom at WHRB proclaims "Eno is god," his success as artist and producer is a curse as well as a blessing. Eno specializes in the synthesized wail. He is credited with co-authoring only one song on the side, but the spacey sound is heavily influenced by his work. The titles are all new and banal with the exception of "Speed of Life," which has an unusual, European-pop kick. Kraftwerk is three albums ahead of Bowie-Eno here. This side should come complete with a light...
