...years and countless albums and groups later, I feel so twisted, so confused and maze-mad; "Rock'n'Roll Nigger" Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen and Lou Reed slip through the rock world of packaging-marketing-publicity and make me want to tear down buildings like I did when I first heard The Who and The Stones (but their music--ah, the beauty of it--consumed that urge...
...will not solve the parking problem in embassy neighborhoods, however, because many members of the diplomatic community will keep their treasured immunity from parking regulations. Thus they can continue to double-park their cars, leave them in no-parking zones, ignore parking meters -and then tear up their parking tickets. This is no small privilege.

As the policemen gingerly walked inside, cries of infants were heard over a loudspeaker that MOVE members had used to hurl invectives at police. MOVE members had long sworn they would not come...
...Square in downtown Tehran was packed with thousands of protesters. A local religious leader appealed to them to disperse. They refused. A cavalcade of motorcycles, followed by groups of women and young children, began to proceed toward squads of armed soldiers. After repeated warnings, the soldiers lobbed canisters of tear gas into the crowd, then shot into the air. As the throngs advanced, the troops lowered their guns and fired. At nightfall, after the bodies of the victims had been loaded into army trucks and carried away, the government announced that 86 people, mostly women and children, had died...
