...most noticeable thing about this album is that there are only a few really noticeable songs on it. Most of the cuts are assured and polished, but there's some inner conviction missing--which seems odd given Santana's personal faith.

THIS TREND has been consolidated by the nature of the aid process itself.

I knew that Suze devotes a part of the semester to autobiography and reflection; I thought maybe she had inadvertently offended him or others in the process of brainstorming for particular autobiographical paper topics. The Crimson quotes a white student in her class as saying, "She was probably trying to be helpful, and didn't see how blacks might see it as degrading." I cannot believe there is any more to it than that...
