LIKE A ROLLING STONE (Columbia). Dylan lights out after Temple Drake's daughters, spoiled man-eaters whom he can only taunt and threaten. He shouts out the chronicle of a girl's decline from boarding-school brat to streetwalker. The lyrics, written by Dylan, are powerful and literate and the song is twice as long as most pop hits.

With a final burst of power he maneuvered around it, got back on course, and landed smoothly. As the plane rolled to a stop, gasoline seeping from cracks under the right wing, the passengers burst into applause, then scrambled out through emergency escape chutes. Twenty-five minutes had elapsed since takeoff...
