...deconstruction" of the old, and a sardonic snipe at other contemporary musical forms. The Pistols start parodying right off on side two with a symphonic version of "God Save the Queen," as much a parody of themselves as of art rock. A bizarre disco medley of "Anarchy in the U. K.," "God Save the Queen," "Pretty Vacant," and "No One's Innocent" follows on the same side. These, along with a French cafe version of "L'Anarchie Pour le U. K.," sung by Jerzimy on side four, and a delightfully absurd sax solo on "Belsen Vas a Gassa," evince...
These imposing figures are apparently only the beginning of what President Sadat has in mind. After the signing, Sadat plans to stay on in Washington to push for U S acceptance of his $15 billion economic development scheme, which he calls "the Carter Plan." With some justification, the Egyptian President argues that his courageous pursuit of peace has isolated him dangerously in the Middle East Egypt is threatened by radical regimes in Libya and elsewhere. From within, it faces the same kind of Islamic fundamentalist forces that helped topple the Shah of Iran. The solution, Sadat believes, is to wage...
...dollar is weak, he believes, because it is the only significant international trading currency and more than 75% of the official reserves of all non Communist countries are held in dollars. This unique dominance has enabled U S banks to lend out so many billions of dollars that the world is awash with them, and their value has been tumbling. Nobody knows how Turkey Zaire, Peru and many other impecunious countries will ever pay back their loans to Citibank, Chase or the rest of the big U.S. lenders. The debtor countries, pleading poverty, could indefinitely defer repayment. Then the Federal...
...island were barren, if it had no majestic koa trees or coconut palms or fern forests, no hibiscus, begonia, bougainvillaea, poinsettia, u'ulei, mamane or hinahina blossoms, it would be worth visiting for Haleakala alone. It is among the world's largest dormant volcanoes-it has not erupted since 1790-and its brooding presence dominates Maui. The crater of 10,000-ft.-high Haleakala (pronounced Hah-lee-ah-kah-lah) is seven miles long, two miles across and half a mile deep. While it has almost no vegetation save for patches of glistening silversword, the crater is dotted...
...been the case with most of the President's international initiatives. The record is not encouraging. Dramatic moments too often were revealed in hindsight to have been hastily prepared. Some people fear that an Israeli-Egyptian treaty could isolate Sadat in the Arab world, deepen hostility to the U. S. and ultimately create grave threats to our oil imports. Carter hears these doubts-or does he? The increasingly personal nature of his leadership sometimes seems to be a protective device destined to give him room to maneuver but also keeping him from seeing the real world. Sincerity and warmth...
