...metonymy, a part for the whole. They insist that the Mayor's "law and order" stance simply reflects the sensibilities of his broader program for New York. Therefore, all his initiatives are tainted: quality of life improvements are for the rich, parks restoration is for the rich, tax reforms are for the rich, neighborhood renewal programs are for the rich. I'm just waiting for the Yankees' World Championship title to be dismissed as yet another perk...
There are three extended, bluesy instrumental jams on the album: "Tax Free," "Midnight" and "Pali Gap." All have merit--after all, anytime Hendrix digs into his guitar, sparks are bound to fly. "Pali Gap," with the flowing interplay between its two guitar parts, is the most remarkable and brilliant performance on this album, with inspired soloing and beautiful textures from beginning to end.

We don't ask the first baby-boomer President for much--not for universal health care, not for campaign-finance purity, not even for a tax cut. But we do count on him, as the emblem of our age, not to give in to the ravages of time. He was re-elected in part because he complied. He looks improbably young. His hair may be gray, but it's all there. He runs without gasping...
