...while America has rolled around in dance clubs and hip-hop has taken the political torch, folk music has somehow maintained a high energy, doubtless made possible by clubs like Passim. Siggins Schmidt explains that the club is "one of the best places an artist can cut his or her own teeth...can find an attentive audience. Its nurturing quality has proved itself decade after decade." And Club Passim does have an "alumni" list for the past few decades twice as impressive as Harvard's: Baez, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Shawn Colvin, Jackson Browne, Tracy Chapman...
...further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun!

Arafat left the meeting early and without comment -- though he was doubtless smiling inside...
WASHINGTON: In case you blinked and missed it, censure just made its first -- and doubtless fleeting -- appearance on Henry Hyde's radar screen. "I think it's fair to have a vote on a resolution for censure," Hyde said during a break in Wednesday's bone-dry wrangling over perjury, Ken Starr and other affairs d'affaire. The proposition, favored by Democrats, a few Republicans and most of the public (but when did they ever figure into this?) should have a very short life...
