Harvard International Review, Fall 1993, Vol. XVI, No. 1: Page 9 features a picture of a UN soldier soothing a Bosnian youth. Is he a servant of world peace or...NAMBLA...
...read that I don't much mind: thick heaps of raw information about (largely) noisy records from all over the globe, with bizarre slogans Jenny Holzer would kill to have coined liberally "mixed in" (in the ice-cream sense of the phrase "mixed in"). Nirvana and Sonic Youth were in here early on; the latest issue has the most articulate, most convincing (pro-) "Riot Grrrl" think-piece/manifesto I've seen, plus interviews with Moonshake, Sugar, Tsunami, Nation of Ulysses, Huggy Bear, several unheard-of British bands, and that guy who used to sing for the Pixies.

Pippin is more ambitious than most, however, as the musical comedy that is painfully conscious of the fact that it is a musical comedy.

Ratzinger helped force Kung out of a professorship at the University of Tubingen for, among other things, arguing that...
...global village is defined, as we know, by an international youth culture that takes its cues from American pop culture. Kids in Perth and Prague and New Delhi are all tuning in to Santa Barbara on TV, and wriggling into 501 jeans, while singing along to Madonna's latest in English. CNN (which has grown 70-fold in 13 years) now reaches more than 140 countries; an American football championship pits London against Barcelona. As fast as the world comes to America, America goes round the world -- but it is an America that is itself multi-tongued and many hued...
