Iran's military inertia is the result of an army desperately short on manpower, spare parts and ammunition. A whole layer of professional commanders, eliminated by Khomeini's revolution, is sorely missed. Moreover, say military analysts, the Iranians consistently squander what supplies they have. Notes Philippe Rondot, a French Middle East expert: "They shoot at everything, firing as many missiles and bullets as they have. It's like a military orgy...
THIS LATEST ALBUM from the author of "Changes" should convince even the most skeptical that Bowie is governed by more than just restlessness--that there is synthesis as well as contradiction in his progress. Scary Monsters miraculously harnesses the techniques Bowie picked up from Eno--how to layer musical textures, how to manipulate odd rhythms--to a murky vision of a world without order or hope.

Its title, Invade My Privacy, is fading fast in the sun. The auto's left rear...
...sharp enough to cut through the wax and give the illusion of slicing her flesh. Again the blood came out of the scalpel and shot into the groove being created. We cut the camera once more. I spent about 90 minutes making her head bald by spreading soap across layers of hair and drying each layer until it was slick. I then removed the top half of the mortician's wax above the cut, and built up more wax along the top of her real hairline leading into the soaped-out area. I applied pink and white makeup...
