RUSSIA'S YARD SALE Psst! Wanna buy a MiG jet fighter? How about 200 lbs. of uncut emeralds or a little nuclear-reactor fuel? In once secret military-industrial cities, all this and more is for sale. But beware: the mafia, the KGB, old party officials and new Moscow bureaucrats may want a piece of the action...
Thus, Broken Moon proves that a WBOS favorite need not be boring or by groups of the '70s. With WBOS's practice of playing music "completely uncut, as the artist intended," Lowen and Navarro, as well as groups ranging from The Rolling Stones to the Police can be enjoyed in full, and while suffering through Van Morrison's "Moondance" from the millionth time may be a pain, it's well worth it. You're an adult now--you can listen to adult music, and Lowen and Navarro is not a bad start...
...forests are not just tree stands. They are vast, intricate superorganisms; interdependent populations of wildlife; huge, filtering sponges for clear water; great, green lungs breathing out oxygen.

But to bridge the years till then, virtually all the old growth not in national parks would have...

It is a tribute to Bowie's eldritch skill and Roeg's eerie artistry that we feel immediately all the main character's displacement, fear and wonder in his new world. This laser disc (Voyager/The Criterion Collection) marks the first uncut presentation of the original wide-screen format for U.S. home video.

...diamond regions. Although the Angolan drought made alluvial-plain diamonds easier to find, Angola's rush was triggered mainly by the chaotic aftermath of civil war. Thousands of demobilized soldiers with no job prospects began scratching around for easy money. Legislation enacted in November permitting Angolans to trade in uncut diamonds was intended to soak up rough stones that people had illegally hoarded down through the years. Instead, because the move made it vastly easier to unload illegally dug diamonds, it further spurred the stampede to Lunda Norte. Cafunfo, a town of 5,000 on the Cuango River, mushroomed...
