...item neglected in the rush of the week's news: it was revealed that Russell Eugene Weston Jr., who stormed the U.S. Capitol last summer, killing two police officers, did it because he feared being contaminated by "Black Heva," a blight that he considered "the deadliest disease known to mankind." Black Heva (which exists only in Weston's mind) spreads by way of the rotting flesh of cannibals' victims; Weston shot the policemen because they were cannibals preventing him from getting to the "ruby satellite," a device that is the key to halting Heva-breeding cannibalism...
...commentary on America's cultural obsession with youth [SPECTATOR, Nov. 9]: for the record, we at the Felicity television series did not fire writer Riley Weston when we "learned she was 32 years old instead of 19, as she had claimed."

While for me personally the debate didn't cut quite as close to the bone as did the fuss over Riley Weston, it did serve to remind me that I have yet to produce a masterwork of my own and that Van Gogh was 37 when he died...
...then Shellac played. Shellac was good.I had always been under the impression that thevocals were distorted, but that's just the waySteve sounds when he's yelling. Steve jumpedaround a lot and banged his head. Bob Weston's apudgy guy, with curly blond hair. Todd Trainer isthe ugliest man alive--he looks like Splinter fromthe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All of them canplay the hell out of their instruments. Theystarted with "The Guy Who Invented Fire" and thenplayed all the memorable songs from the firstalbum--"A Minute," "Dog and Pony Show," "TheAdmiral"--and many of their less memorable songsfrom their...
