...STICKER on the cover of the Clash's new album describes it as "18 new songs from the only band that matters," and though that rings of promotional hype, the Clash have never been a band to go along with hype. They've played a little trick on their promoters, andtackedanother song to the end of their double album without listing it on the jacket, or telling the guys who wrote the ad copy. That's the keynote for the music on this album: it presents a world gone slightly askew and takes a sort of grim joy in pounding...
...couple of years ago it would have been ludicrous to describe the music of the Clash in such terms; a tight, angry punk band, they merely translated blunt, explicit feelings of political frustration into bracing, furious music. The first Clash album (released as the band's second record in the U.S.) spit out all subtlety, and the second deliberately sidestepped...
...revolution might indeed be feeling some strain. Even as he basked in the adulation of the mobs at Qum, armed Azerbaijani militants loyal to Ayatullah Seyed Kazem Sharietmadari were battling Khomeini's followers and Revolutionary Guards in the streets of Tabriz.

...planes had been mustered from bases throughout the Soviet Union; they carried an airborne division from near Moscow and support troops from Turkestan. On Dec. 27, Russian airborne troops stormed the Darulaman Palace. Amin was captured and shot, along with some of his relatives. The only other serious clash was a skirmish outside Radio Afghanistan, just across from the U.S. embassy. In both fights, Afghan troops loyal to Amin resisted as best they could and inflicted about 250 casualties, but they were no match for the Soviets. By the next day, Dec. 28, the capital was entirely in Soviet hands...
...breaches last week. Reacting to the reported infiltration of 600 to 700 ZANLA insurgents from Mozambique, he ordered Rhodesian troops into action along the country's eastern border. In another flagrant cease-fire violation, ten guerrillas attacked a white farm near the northwestern town of Sinoia, precipitating a clash with Rhodesian paramilitary police that left seven insurgents dead. The Commonwealth monitoring force suffered its first combat-related casualties when a Land-Rover detonated a mine, injuring a British soldier and a senior Patriotic Front field commander. The precarious truce was also marred by some 180 scattered incidents of banditry...
