...first, Business sounds much the same as last year's uninspired debut effort, but listen closer and you'll discover several excellent sections embedded within otherwise bland material. The liveliest, most adventuresome song here is the recently released single, "All the Kings Horses." Here Tony Franklin's keyboards actually dominate the song. They sweep up and down and back, then drop to near silence, except for Rodgers' cool and restrained vocals. Similar to the opening to Van Halen's 1984, the keyboards provide a musical foil for an oscillating rhythm section...
...Hunter" and "Cadillac." But Page's hammering riffs on side two definitely make an impression. Page fanatics still mourning Zep's death in '80 will find their fill of guitar here, especially on "Dreaming" and "Spirit of Love," two instances where the master redeems the dull work of the debut...
...Reagans actually seemed rather proud of their son's acting debut. "Like father, like son," the President said after his press conference last week. Ron told his parents that he was going to appear on the show, but he did not ask for their permission nor tell them what he would be doing.

In 1955, at Humbard's urging...
...what they have built back home. Having savored the East and West coasts, they insist on returning to the heartland. Their commitment is yielding a season any city might envy. Last week Danny Glover, the busiest black actor in Hollywood (The Color Purple, Witness, Silverado), made his Chicago stage debut at Steppenwolf's intimate--and perforce uncommercial--211- seat space in Athol Fugard's A Lesson from Aloes. A few blocks away, William Peterson, star of the film thriller To Live and Die in L.A., has rejoined the funky, avant-garde Remains Theater in a portrayal of brainwashing, Days...
