...fusion of jazz instruments, electronic effects, and Reed's fast-decaying voice; Patti Smith's latest is a luke-warm porridge of mushy mixing and tame playing. Yet we have New York Times critic John Rockwell '62 hailing both artists as "principal figures in New York's vanguard rock underground," and liberally praising their records. Arista Records chose to release both new albums at the same time, helping link the two in the public mind. But then, to the rest of the country all musicians that emerge from New York sound the same, right...
Bereft of his old band the Velvet Underground, his "rock and roll animal" stage mask, and now even his voice, credibility is about all Lou Reed can lay claim to today. His recent studio albums have each shed a successive layer of his personality-on Coney Island Baby, he sang "I want to play football for the coach"; on Street Hasslehe sang "I want to be black"; on The Bells, nothing is left but his ashen, wasted face...
...fields contained a total of 180 underground silos, or launchers. One-third of the silos housed SS-19 rockets with multiple warheads; the other two-thirds housed older, less formidable SS-11s with single warheads.

Nonetheless, officials in Washington?and particularly at the Pentagon? were worried about their future ability to distinguish MIRVed from unMlRVed rockets when mixed together as they were at D-and-P.

...Mohammed Mossadegh. When Mossadegh fell from power in a U.S.-sponsored coup in 1953, Yazdi joined the National Resistance Movement, whose founders included Bazargan and Ayatullah Mahmoud Taleghani, leader of Tehran's 4 million Shi'ites. In 1960, after most political organizations in Iran had been driven underground and their leaders jailed, Yazdi and his wife Sourour left for the U.S., where he studied at several universities, including the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. A specialist in cancer research, he eventually became a supervising pathologist at the Veterans Administration hospital in Houston...
Cable operators do face some serious obstacles to further growth. The cost of wiring major cities, where cables cannot be strung from poles but must be run underground, is extremely high (as much as $100,000 a mile). Partly for that reason, Chicago does not yet have a cable system and Manhattan is the only one of New York City's five boroughs where viewers can watch cable...
