Some 150 other pro-choice advocates joined the effort. They met vocal opposition from pro-lifers who were picketing Capitol Hill. Two women pushing baby strollers had a curt conversation. "This is a pro-life baby," said one. Replied the other: "This is a pro-choice baby...
...these are probably not the songs you'll hear first; radio stations have chosen "D.J." and "Boys Keep Swinging" for airplay. "D.J." is the most commercial and least interesting song on Lodger--Bowie's vocal acrobatics are impressive, but the music is in the same style as, and not much of an advance on, that of Young Americans.

Pacino has insufficient breath control to carry a Shakespearean line, so he spits out the poetry and mars the imagery. He strikes just two vocal chords: one, the brawling ranter, the other the insinuative little-boy whiner. Furthermore, he tends to lisp. Toward the end of the play, when Richard's fortunes are abysmally low, he asks one of his few loyal allies: "Will our friends pwoove all twoo...
