Remarkably few neighbors share the sheriff's straightforward sentiment. Dallas, say his cheerleaders, is not a ruthless killer; rather, he's the last American hero, a vestige of the Old West, a virtual Jeremiah Johnson. In a land of thundering silence and splendid isolation, where a trapper can hike for days without stumbling across another's tracks, this version of the story has grown into a powerful myth. Sure, his fans admit, Dallas killed two men on that terrible day in 1981, but they were just game wardens, the lowly emissaries of flower-fondling environmentalists. Today, in what remains...
...first time in the short history of the labyrinthine White House scandal, a plausible version of events was taking shape, based on sworn testimony and Administration documents. According to the latest scenario, the Administration's weapons deals with Iran were a straightforward arms-for- hostages swap.

It predates Nancarrow's dense, mind-boggling, rhythmic experiments in his Mexico City studio with the player piano, which later became his chosen medium of expression. Emotionally stirring, the piece deserves wider currency. And the swooping, sliding, fuzz-toned Purple Haze must be as close as a string quartet is likely to come to playing acid rock at the Fillmore. Jimi was never like this. Can Janis be far behind...
