...blamed on its uneven quality; Dylan has edited badly before, notably on Times Are A-Changin', Optis 3. What is troubling now is a studied inarticulacy--a consistent deverbalization--which marks good and bad songs alike on Blonde on Blonde. Emblematic of the present wordlessness stands the cardboard jacket, filled with snapshots where past albums abounded in liner notes (often awkward but sometimes incisive). The songs themselves, by profuse blues repetitions and by overlong choruses, generally blunt the listener's attention to the language of the songs...
...Leopard, an award Mobutu invented for "exceptional services" and had already passed out to his Cabinet. For last week's ceremony, the governors showed up in Kinshasa's Place Braconnier in a sartorial array of cutaway coats, tails, business suits and even one black corduroy jacket.

Died.

"This is not a movement being run by the liberal white establishment or by Uncle Toms. What you have been doing...
...book trade calls it a Gothic novel. The dust jacket usually shows a terrified young woman running across a lawn, while in the background a ghostly old mansion or château looms menacingly through the fog. Following the chilling tradition of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, the Gothics thrust innocent and high-minded young women into gloomy households where husbands and lovers are breathlessly suspect, where hidden rooms and violent traditions abound, where hidden doors creak ominously, lights go out mysteriously, and improbable coincidences are just too much for words...
