...seen quite a few changes and made fine, weird, wired rock-'n'-roll music out of all of them, no matter how bizarre or diverse-high school memories and heroin jags, sweet romances and violent one-night stands, soirées with Warhol's underground crew and cruises through the lowlife. There has been one constant throughout. That gun is still drawn, and likely loaded. Danger is what Lou Reed's music has always been about. And that makes it classic, vital rock 'n' roll...
...seemed to be fulfilling their legislated mandates when the indictments of former FBI Director L. Patrick Gray III and two of his former top-level aides came down last week. The felony charges stemmed from an illegal wiretapping and break-in operation conducted without court warrants against the Weather Underground in the early '70s by the FBI's New York field office. A federal grand jury apparently concluded that Gray and two of his high-ranking assistants, W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller, had authorized the unlawful surveillance activities; and the Criminal Division in the department elected to proceed...
...oldest Weiss son (James Woods), an artist, marries a Roman Catholic (Meryl Streep), only to be sent to Buchenwald, then to the "privileged" camp of Theresienstadt, then Auschwitz. His brother (Joseph Bottoms) goes on the run, meets and marries a Czech Zionist (Tovah Feldshuh), and later joins the underground Jewish partisans fighting in the Ukraine. As Green traces the stories of these and many related characters, the audience gradually takes in the panorama of the Holocaust. It stretches from the first major anti-Jewish riot in Berlin (the 1938 Kristallnacht) to the early stages of the postwar struggle to create...
...airport fees that are 30% higher than those at Haneda. They also worry about flight safety. Narita has only one 13,000-foot runway, which is periodically subjected to severe crosswinds. Even the jet-fuel handling system has been complicated by the disorders. Unable to acquire land for an underground pipeline, airport managers must transport fuel by railroad tank car. Because the protestors have tried to blow up at least one train, shipments move under heavy police guard...
Webb's domain extends underground to a huge wine cellar where some 95,000 bottles of student wine are aging gracefully. Like the beer, alas, all 95,000 bottles will go right down the drain once a panel of faculty and staff has rated their taste and bouquet. Along with such courses as "analysis of musts and wines" and "wine production," Davis offers a course on "sensory evaluation." But its strictly scientific approach sets it apart from the wine-appreciation courses that have germinated on some 300 U.S. campuses...
