During the Democratic Convention, Bill Clinton and Al Gore staged a sort of pre-emptive celebration of family values, claiming the issue for themselves. How well they succeeded remains to be seen. They know the danger of Democrats' seeming promiscuously tolerant of all bizarreness in some aging '60s, Phil Donahue fashion.

Phil Spector's over-the-Top-40 sound has often been memorialized; now THE SCEPTER RECORDS STORY is related in a 65-song set on three CDs.

By week's end, all those who came were leaving with some such memento: with a large round weight around their necks, or a picture of themselves with Magic Johnson; with shaved heads or ruptured tendons. Barcelona has long been famous as a city of artists and laborers, a "city of marvels" where discipline and flight...
