...Maybe I'd be rereading a Lester Bangs' essay from "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" - some "Creem" column from perhaps 10 or 12 years before - and decide I had to have the Iggy Pop/James Williamson " I Got A Right," and I had to have it RIGHT NOW. And not the LP version, either (if there was one), or the CD (right, not invented yet) - it had to be the 45, the only version with that raw, hyper-compressed, grooves-carved-in-your-flesh sound...
...Stevenson was a graceful Baryshnikov in the ring, Savon is a raging bull. He KO'd U.S. heavyweight DaVarryl Williamson in the finals of the last Goodwill Games with a crushing right to the jaw a minute into the first round. "Savon has done that magnificently," says Stevenson. "But he's not a technical fighter." And he has begun to pay for it.

In the end, Big Tobacco folded, accepting a settlement that included major restrictions on advertising--no billboards, for example--and $246 billion in damages, to be paid to the states over 25 years...
...Census shouldn't be allowed to use a sampling technique because creating phantom people ran in the Daley family, a reference to the charge that as mayor, William's father raided Chicago's cemeteries for J.F.K. votes in 1960. Daley usually gets along with the opposing party. Rich Williamson, the Illinois G.O.P. chair, says his former law partner so impressed Senate Republicans that they have removed Commerce from their demolition list...
