...Black Sea, XTC. XTC's high-tech idolatry, exhibited on last year's Drums and Wires in songs like "Roads Girdle the Globe," metamorphosed in 1980 into full-scale battle hysteria; Black Sea is the best of the new war music. "Generals and Majors" overlays "Bridge Over the River Kwai"-style corps whistling on a bouncy anthem...
...polls show Proposition 2 1/2 will likely pass, barring a last minute organizational jihad from the public employee's unions. Backed by the state's businessmen, especially the industrial aristocrats who rule the fabled domain of High Tech, the 2 1/2 campaign has promised taxpayers cash in their pockets and assured local residents that new industry will flood in once taxes fall.

"You are taking part in a great citizenship program," he adds. To commemorate the patriotic tendencies of the youth assembled behind him, Ullrich awards Minuteman Tech principal Ron Fitzgerald a flag that was flown not only over the Capitol, but also over a southwestern Air Force Base, where it was in the "honored position" while a flyby of T-38s passed over...
