...sustained?indeed, defined?the vaunting, unstable strength that is the soul of rock, the barefoot boogie along the keen edge of the blade. There are lots of scars and some wounds that will never heal. The music remains intact, inviolate. No other group has ever pushed rock so far, or asked so much from it. No other band has ever matched its sound, a particular combination of sonic onslaught and melodic delicacy that is like chamber music in the middle of a commando raid. No other group, in return, has ever had so much asked of it by an audience...
...lavished "time, money, attention and great expectations on four of the only all-male zucchini plants to exist in the memory of my county Agricultural Extension Service." Her feminism is sharp but not strident.

...Husband Sergei Kauzov, 40, celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a few close Greek friends on Christina's island, Skorpios. The party was deliberately simple: an anniversary cake helicoptered in from the mainland, along with champagne, caviar, smoked salmon and lobster. Then the couple led off some barefoot dancing, choosing a tango as their starter. There were no signs of discord in the union. Sergei, who has been allowed out of Moscow on an extended visa rarely granted by Soviet authorities, is taking a stronger role in managing one of the capitalist world's largest fleets. And Christina...
