Talk about a political grab bag! At last Friday's Presidential Campaign Conference over at the Kennedy School, supporters of former Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander were distributing a video dubbed "Lamar!" The offer was topped by the Bob Dole camp's audio tape, but couldn't really compete with Pat Buchanan's world wide web home page or the t-shirts from Morry Taylor, the delusionary Republican Perot. Some candidates' giveaways were more significant...
...dispensing the year's largest award--1995's grand prizewinner will snag $10 million--but today's is surely the most picturesque: a bright red Jaguar convertible. The Prize Patrol suspects that Hall will be the kind of small-town elderly woman who will look good on tape as she weeps for joy in a snazzy bucket seat (she will, of course, have the option of choosing a $65,000 check instead). No one knows her age, but Prize Patrol leader David Sayer notes hopefully that "Nellye" is not a young person's name. Patrol member Carroll Rotchford admits that...
...easy-to-use system that will enhance the lives of consumers. Congress would just confuse us all. If they can't make an IRS form easy to understand, how do we expect them to regulate such a complex industry without bogging everyone down in countless layers of red tape?

He is scared that if cable and telephone companies (whose only motivation is profit) are given the goahead and begin to blend their services, rates will skyrocket, and the consumer will be caught...
They used to be small businessmen, griping in obscurity about government red tape. But now they're big-time Congressmen whose real-life horror stories are making a big impression on Capitol Hill. House majority whip Tom DeLay, a former exterminator, says the Environmental Protection Agency has allowed fire ants to trample the South. Georgia dentist Charles Norwood says federal regulators have made it hard for children to believe in the tooth fairy. And Cass Ballenger, a North Carolina plastic-packaging manufacturer, says labyrinthine EPA rules have cost his business more than $1 million. Now, in the name of regulatory...
...late Coltrane albums as A Love Supreme--will release two more albums in October: the complete Africa/Brass sessions, in which Coltrane experiments with tribal rhythms, and Stellar Regions, mostly unreleased songs recorded with his pianist wife Alice only months before his death. The latest trove: 30 hours of raw tape found earlier this year, rescued as they were about to be trashed. Impulse! is negotiating to release these recordings starting next year. Dorn calls it "possibly one of the great musical discoveries of all time." And possibly not, but for the Coltrane revival, another giant step...
