In his neo-greaser outfit--baggy pants, a workshirt with cut-off sleeves, a leather jacket, and a floppy, oversized woolen ski cap that he periodically pulls over his eyes, throws in the air, or loses among the tangle of amp and guitar cords on stage--he looks like a kid who has some inborn style but doesn't have the time or money or desire to get properly duded...

Following a hue and cry about the lack of cold-weather gear for soldiers on the frosty Golan Heights, civilian volunteers and even tourists went up to the front to distribute American parkas, long underwear and woolen socks. The government is understandably apprehensive about the upcoming report of a blue-ribbon commission investigating the army's shortcomings...
