...specifically the less-than-sprightly rhythm section and his own vocals. "Badlands," basically a good cut--as energetic and rambling as the best Springsteen can be--suffers, as you will, from Springsteen's triple-tracked harmony on the chorus, which is all too reminiscent of bloodhounds baying at a treed raccoon. In fact, Springsteen does this on several of the cuts on this album, including the title track, with the same failure...
...year-old, well-maintained two-story, seven-room colonial (three bedrooms, 1½ baths, one-car garage), attractive, heavily treed property, quiet residential area, listed in low $60s, has been on the market since April-many lookers, several binders, still unsold...
...more than a mischievous vegetarian. Bands of male chimps have been observed hunting small game, not primarily for food but for entertainment. One adult male was even seen eating its own young. Associating freely in the ethological record, Ardrey reasons that as long as primates remained treed, where food and safety were readily available, meat eating could be a sometime thing.

Black bears were slaughtered at a Michigan garbage dump by tourists with rifles. A gang of rednecks with the latest electronic gear treed a bear, then watched hounds rip it apart. Explained the pack's leader: "We feel that they deserve a chew." A pert stewardess plunked down $500 to "harvest" her first buffalo; then she pointed to the hoofs: "Jim, did I want those for footstools?" In the program...
...Heldt's criticism in your Letters column of "organic" foods as insufficient to make Jim Thorpe able to compete with athletes of today: Mr. Heldt, as is usual with the non-Indian, has treed the wrong bark. While everyone knows of the wonderful increase in health, height, weight, etc., of the average "white" because of his "chemically raised foodstuffs," little mention is made of the fact that the Anishinabe (Chippewa) was 6 ft. tall in 1700. The French called us "Sauters" among other names, meaning "Jumpers," for our ancestors went "bounding" through the forest and the short Frenchmen could...
