Moreover, the Justice Department, trying to live down its Watergate-acquired reputation as a political extension of the White House, once again gave the impression of dancing to a presidential tune...

But the problem may lie as much with the sequencing of the cuts as with the quality of the Stones' rendition or the song itself. Listened to in isolation, "Cherry Oh Baby" comes off as a fairly good and authentic reggae imitation. But for the ear accustomed to rock and roll's strong second beat emphasis and generally faster pacing, the reggae rhythm often...
