...California fast life, unrequited love and witchy, lying women. And after Hotel California Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner went the solo route, leaving the band treading water in the backwash of the New Wave tide. But somehow the Eagles stayed afloat. Somehow they coaxed Walsh back into the flock, incorporated new themes into their music, and experimented with new sounds.

OSHA wants a copy; the Defense Department requires five or six; HEW, DOE, EPA-all of the burgeoning flock of federal alphabet agencies-can and do demand a full response to their questions, or the grant is withheld...

The planes were Lockheed's needle-nosed SR-71s on strategic reconnaissance missions that President Carter has ordered to monitor Soviet military activity in Cuba...
