...group for whom he has little affection. ("You know why real men like to hunt?" Jackson asked the crowd at a recent concert. "Because they can't stand the thought that anything in the woods has a bigger dick than they do!") The song stresses modern society's utter confusion about sex roles. Jackson offers no conclusion; he simply communicates a sort of desperation about who is who. "If there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left," he resolves...

...BABY. I ain't goin' nowhere!" C. E. Smith exclaims as Teresa Reese delivers the first deadly line of the Supremes' first million-seller. "Where Did Our Love Go?" It's the perfect response--one that sits in the back of our minds every time we hear Diana Ross utter "Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Oooh, please don't leave me by myself." It's also one of the best moments in a top-notch local show. Dancin' in the Street! is a snazzy, thoroughly enjoyable Motown revival. And if C. E. Smith and the other seven local...

He halves a red pepper, halves a green pepper, skins and trims his chicken, sections his bonito, working with an utter absence of false motion, so that great speed seems unhurried. Claiborne sits at one end of the table, calling out questions (How much? How hot?) and taking it all down on an electric typewriter. There is no salt in the resulting recipes, of course, because Claiborne's doctors have ruled...

During the formative years of the Superstation, Turner voiced both mistrust of journalists and utter lack of interest in providing TV news. He blamed network coverage for sapping national morale by harping on the "bad news" of deaths and deficits rather than the good works of, for example, the Boy Scouts. He accused "the media" of undermining the credibility of the U.S. Army through "anti-American" coverage in Viet Nam.
