...perspective of a true punk, it seems false and foolish to sing openly of love in such a sullied world. So tender emotions are hidden, which makes their hearts ache all the more. The Clash's album London Calling contained one of rock's best love songs, Train in Vain, but it was hidden away, buried as an unlisted track. On this album the song Corazon de Oro gives us a brief glimpse into singer Armstrong's heart. "What have I become/ Now that I'm alone?" he croons, his voice shattered and whispery. After an album of rage...
...some of his relatives immediately charged that he had been poisoned or had died because his illnesses had gone untreated while he was in detention. A Lagos newspaper suggested absurdly that the American diplomats meeting Abiola had slipped something into his tea. In what is sure to be a vain attempt to quell the inflammatory rumors, the latest military boss, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, 56, called in a team of British, American and Canadian pathologists to perform an autopsy...

Activists in Hong Kong, the most democratic locale in all of China, have taken it as their duty to make sure that those dissidents did not die in vain--that with each step President Clinton takes in Tiananmen Square, the cries of those who perished there will resonate forcefully around the world. Because of the rights people here have gained under British sovereignty and because of the international interest in Hong Kong in recent years, people feel that they...
...Republicans think the bill looks too much like tax-and-spend liberalism; they want to add tax cuts. Democrats like the bill as is; they're trying -- so far in vain -- to close debate and force a vote on the existing version. It's a good old-fashioned Senate stalemate, and suddenly the tobacco industry has something to chuckle about: An ugly Beltway bill is headed for an ugly Beltway funeral...
