...temperature soared to 120 degrees F almost every day, and the fossils were hundreds of feet up, poking out of the dusty face of a sandstone cliff. "It was," says Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago, who led the joint U.S.-Moroccan expedition, "the most brutal fieldwork I've ever done." Worse yet, the team wasn't finding much--lots of moderately interesting bits and pieces but nothing even close to a major discovery...
Here they are, in 12 choice cuts of The Road to Ensenada (MCA). Listen for the testimony and you may be persuaded that the whole marriage was fieldwork, research under fire for an album of wily recrimination. In the acerbic Christmas Morning the singer describes three genial lies--"Have a great day," "Peace and goodwill to men" and a bride's vow to take her man for better or worse--and plaintively asks, "But hey, what did you mean by that?/ Perhaps I'm the tool you take me for,/ Not anything more."

...sprawling 18,000-acre work farm that has as grim a history as any prison in America, Angola might seem like an unlikely place to go looking for a good time. The fieldwork used to be so brutal that in 1951, 31 prisoners cut their Achilles tendons in protest. But today, thanks to a federal lawsuit and changes in prison leadership, the mood is about as upbeat as it can be in a facility that boasts watchtowers, razor-wire fences and a lethal-injection chamber...
