...having figured out the subtleties hidden in some scene, and the next page you're hit in the face with a four-letter explanation. The characters don't even manage to stay pinned down. Drag Gibson is a primary colored capitalist- but suddenly he's doing things that scream Chicago in your ear. These things could make for a very annoying novel, creating blind paths that lead to nowhere, a riot just for the hell of it. Instead, however, you wind up with a strong, funny book that manages to make its own kind of sense. It works...
...sheepishly to admit that we could spot each others' line sequences from a mile away and that those oh so-recognisable adjective arrangements sometimes haunted us in our sleep.

The family, which included Raquel's younger brother and sister, lived in a one-story stucco house...
Demonic Strain. Such a string of disasters and scandals might well have sunk a less vital group. But last week, midway through a triumphal U.S. tour-their first in three years-Jagger and company were busy proving just how well they thrive on adversity. Selling out the Chicago International Amphitheatre twice in one night with its inimitable brand of gritty, Negro-derived blues, the group re-established itself as one of the most durable and original forces in rock. As usual, the music tapped the dark, demonic strain in human emotions, and as usual, the central figure was Jagger, gaunt...
